Russ:

Why assume the other is the "Saudi or one of the others"? Mauritania and 
Syria are the dominants in Newfoundland, so I'd assume this was a mix of 
Mauritania and Syria. Was there a parallel on 918 or 828?

Mauritanian Arabic is strongly accented so a recording in the hands of 
some of our Arabic speaking DXers might nail this down.
