21540 1005-1505 27,28 KBD 500 310 9 211 Arabic,
noted April 20/21/22/23. S=9+20dB in Germany.
Co-channel REE Madrid registration !
That's one of the stations I never have got an engineering operational
schedule in past decade. Sometimes they sent out a colourful schedule
leaflet, but often that contains very outdated frequency data.
Leaflet put often also on MOI - R Kuwait website, but I don't know the
.pdf file URL, someone with Arabic skills should explore this Arabic lang
letter website on

Their registrations seem to indicate that a service to the ME is now in
effect on 9 & former 7 MHz using quadrant antennas according to reports,
and an international service via 21540 [to EUR, NoAM] and 11630 [to Ce and
WeAF] kHz (Quran). Martien Groot appears to have found a 7 MHz replacement
for the mornings transmission via 5960 kHz, but the evening service is
still to be located. Former 15495 15110 and 11990 kHz are not audible.
KWT is another station that seems to have a "wish list" of registered
frequencies that are never used.

11990 replaced by new 15540 kHz. (wb)
Kuwait and REE on 21540 kHz, on 21 Apr at 1251 UT a collision between the
Radio Kuwait and REE, from my listening post. Both come with almost the
same signal. Slight predominance of Radio Kuwait during the time of my
listening. Probably the collision is present in Africa, affecting the
transmission of REE. Strong signal.

Re Kuwait and REE in 21540 kHz. Targets differ approx. 9000 kilometers ...
in these days of very bad propagation nothing is heard from Spain in 13 mb
in central Europe. No collision in the targets.
R Kuwait target, 310 degr, 4000 kms away, to zones
27 UK, France, Benelux
28 Central & Eaern Eur, not Baltics
KWT towards AF target 7000 - 8000 kilometers, via Saudi Arabia, ETH, KEN,
TZA ... but much more to Brazil 10.000 - 11.000 kilometers
REE 161 degr
target 7000 kilometers,
azimuth differs approx. 140 degr when compared towards CeEurope, U.K.
46 W.Africa
47 Central Africa
52 Gabon, Congo, Zaire, Angola
57 Namibia, SoAfrica, Botswana, Swaziland, Lesotho

I was too engrossed in the daytime MW DX opening April 20 to even think of
checking for Kuwait's new English frequency 15540 kHz, which I had
