UNID 11920. This is a recording on that frequency from last week made
unattended by FlexRadio SDR-IQ at 0459. Definitely Arabic station and the
melody sounds familiar. Tarek, any idea?

Re UNID 11920. Oh Mauno, that was a real tough one ... another few seconds
more and I could have managed to get the ID :(
It's a religious program, a guy is reading what we call Hadeeth said by
the prophet Mohammed, and the musical breaks is saying nothing but ALLAH
ALLAH, and then by the end of the clip the name of the program and edited
and directed by ... end of the file.
It's 100% Arabic ... religious so will give it a try tomorrow morning and
hopefully will come up with an answer.
BTW guys my laptop is still crashed: so sorry, if I didn't reply earlier.

Thank you, Tarek. Unfortunately there wasn't anything more in the
programme, it stopped like that. Hopefully Wolfy catches it with a full
ID. Maybe just Iran with typical late sign-off?

I managed to pick it up today around 0445 UT with a song didn't catch an
ID ... but the accent of the announcers/songs played does match that
