SAUDI ARABIA 11784.92-odd 11785 BSKSA Djedda. Today Sept 14th was one
of the better days propagationwise.
After long pause noted BSKSA Djedda's 2nd program again. Though scheduled
in WRTH spring update as 0600-1700 UT on 11855 kHz. But heard today with
Holy Quran prayer between 1630 and TX off at 16.59:18 UT at S=6-7 strength
level on 11785 instead.
Checked against Voice of Indonesia, Jakarta, but latter was still in 31 mb
on odd 9525.97 kHz S=9+20dB seldom strong at 1645 UT.

11784.92 This afternoon Sept 17 at 1550-1610 UT I checked the DUBIOUS
Holy Quran signal in 25 mb again. Though signal was weak as usual, but
could follow the program with SYNCHRONOUS detection feature on Eton E1.
Undoubtedly(!) is was same program like BSKSA HQ program on // 13710,
15205, and 17560 kHz. On 11855 kHz NOT even a carrier traced, the channel
was totally empty.
ARS 11785 BSKSA Djedda, Tonight Sept 15 sign-off at 16.59:37 UT.

ARS 11785 BSKSA Djedda. Sorry, I'm not sure that this odd 11784.91 signal
was origin of Saudi Arabia. That odd frequency used by ARS in the past, in
2008 season.
I heard only a HQ program until 16.59:18 UT at S=6-7 strength level. I'm
sure that at this time VoINS Jakarta (the other odd candidate on v11785)
was much, much stronger on 9525.97 kHz.
So, you managed an equal signal from 0958 UT, which lasts - probably - til
16.59:18 UT. Only the old Jeddah site sets are odd frequency. And the tiny
signal fits only to the Jeddah signals in 31 or 25 mb. In B-10 season
BSKSA probably covered by other broadcaster co-channel, only small window
opens at 12-14 and 15-16 UT.
All Riyadh signals, even side lobe directions in Bengali, Swahili, and
English language to WeAF are usually much stronger compared to Jeddah
signals.
Dr. Hansjoerg Biener covered an item in August NTT column, that US-firm
Continental will replace old units by new SW transmitters in 2011/2012 at
Jeddah site.

ARS 11785 BSKSA Djedda. Are you sure that it was the 2nd prgr. and from
Jedda? At least today Saudi R. signed on with rather good signal at 0958
UT definitely with Quran prgr. on 11784.91 kHz. At 0830 UT a weak carrier
appeared on the long-time Saudi offset of 11854.94 kHz, but I couldn't get
audio.
