That's a great catch - not easy even in Newfoundland.

Subject: [IRCA] Oman on 1278
Hi All,
I had the great surprise to hear last night, Radio Sultanate of Oman on
1278 KHz likely during a transmitter dawn enhancement as it faded out
rapidly near the end of the gray zone. RSO transmit with a "modest"
power for Middle-East standards, of 100 kW.
Tarek Zeidan of Egypt just confirmed to me that both accent and style of
the program aired don't belong to Egypt, so Oman is the only Arabic
candidate left on this channel. Furthermore, according to many lists,
Egypt starts at 3:00 UTC while my recording was at 2:31 UTC.
Unfortunately, Tarek didn't find any ID within this clip.
BBC WS on 1413 also showed up along with a few Saudis, notably on 1449
which is a new log for me.
The type of program drew my attention as it sounded different from what
I'm used to hear from the Middle-East. One of my farthest so far, with
10700 Km / 6650 miles:

in strength)
