JORDAN 15290 Radio Jordan. at 1155-1231* on Dec 12. Thanks Glenn Hauser
tip, not here at 1150 UT check, but already on at this re-check with
Arabic vocals, 3 + 1 time sounder 1200 UT, Arabic male ID, orchestral
fanfare, world news till fanfare again at 1214 UT, "Huna Amman" into brief
Qur'an recital, then instrumental strings and then Arabic pop vocals.
Abruptly off 1231 UT. Why such brief use of a decent channel? Voice of
Turkey in Turkish blowing in with nice Turkish music on 15350 same time,
and something weak at 1405 UT check on 15140 kHz, maybe Radio Sultanate of
Oman in their English hour, but just too weak in terrible local noise to
tell. Chimes at 1429 UT.
