E25

Two transmissions for today, the first with Arabic message and lower signal quality, and the second in English. Note also the carrier dropping prior the first sending:

  • E25 9450 kHz AM 1208z 26/12 Arabic message to "835" low signal strength (listen!)
  • E25 9450 kHz AM 1228z 26/12 Message to "555", better quality! (listen!)
I'm open to your suggestions why is the signal strength varies with time. Is it the ionosphere, or tho operators beam the signal to a different location/use lower power to achieve local coverage? My guess is less power due to op mistakes or the ionosphere. These guys are prone to mistakes. They're probably resources-limited so not capable for high-tech stuff like frequency diversity and beaming! After all they use only one frequency!

Update 27/12:

The translation to the Arabic message is:

6011/6011
5040/0540
8360/3806
3576/5367
5911/9511
5820/8520
6126/1662
1478/4187
6976/9667
5040/0540
7887/8778

Thanks Mr.DXer!
