Seemingly ARS BSKSA put these

four 500 kW shortwave transmitters

already on air, and exchanged but scrapped the old TX units now.

No odd frequency measurements occured lately on the 15380, 17730, or 17740 kHz bcast outlets from Riyadh.

17730.000 Ar 1st px S=9+40dB at 0807

17740.000 Ar 1st px S=9+30dB, but UNDERMODULATED audio level.

and the local non-dir 9714.921 kHz Arabic to peninsula, NE/ME around coverage.
