Re: [IRCA] [ABDX] Mauritania not on SW

[Russ Edmunds <wb2bjh@xxxxxxxxx>]

We posted it to RealDX, and the consensus was Syria for the male/female talk, and the chanting was too deep 
in the mud to get enough to ID it.  Absent anything more definitive, we logged it as presmuned. In our March 2013
DXpedition Mauretania was ID'ed for us via RealDX also.

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.
