In December 2005, the Saudi English language newspaper and website Arab
News published an article about the English Service, in which the Head of
the service, Hanan Awad, said that they wanted to to be on shortwave so
they can be heard all over the world and they had been promised that this
would be considered.
Samar Fatani, another member of the English team, said "We wish that the
English section would receive more attention and be equal to the other
sectors because it's important to have our voice heard by expatriates here
and abroad to combat the negative portrayals of Saudi Arabia, Islam and
our culture."

TAIWAN CLANDESTINE 7390 Open Radio for North Korea (pres) at *1400-
1500* UT on Feb 24. Opening anmt, then YL talk in Korean to 1420 UT,
followed by a mix of music and talk. Music included ABBA's "Waterloo" and
Don MacLean's "Vincent," which they played a few days ago. Good signal
from presumed Novosibirsk site. Off at 1500 UT, leaving an unID station on
the frequency. No idea who the unID is, since the band is on the way out
by 1500 at this longitude and copy was not good.
