Hi All,
I had the great surprise to hear last night, Radio Sultanate of Oman on 
278 KHz likely during a transmitter dawn enhancement as it faded out 
apidly near the end of the gray zone. RSO transmit with a "modest" 
ower for Middle-East standards, of 100 kW.
Tarek Zeidan of Egypt just confirmed to me that both accent and style of 
he program aired don't belong to Egypt, so Oman is the only Arabic 
andidate left on this channel. Furthermore, according to many lists, 
gypt starts at 3:00 UTC while my recording was at 2:31 UTC. 
nfortunately, Tarek didn't find any ID within this clip.
BBC WS on 1413 also showed up along with a few Saudis, notably on 1449 
hich is a new log for me.
The type of program drew my attention as it sounded different from what 
'm used to hear from the Middle-East. One of my farthest so far, with 
0700 Km / 6650 miles:

n strength)
