Sorry to create so much "one-up-man-ship" but I'm in the process of transfering my notes and inadvertantly left out Mauritania on the list for 4845. This explains everything. I'm on the west coast of California and I've NEVER picked up Arabic at this hour. Picked up the signal again last night with much weaker signal that continued on past 0130. Signal too weak to make + I.D. on language.

Also, there are more Muslums in Indonesia than any other part of the world. Is it possible that they may be broadcasting in Arabic during Ramadan? I also had a + I.D. on the Philippenes that same hour. 4845 was much stronger than 5070 which made it seem very strange.

My friend, I think you need to learn a little basic propagation. Indonesia/Philippines on the tropical bands is simply not possible at this time of the day. Forget it, can't happen. This is simply and clearly Mauritania, an easy catch by the way this time of the year. I had a S9 + 20 signal on my Sony 2010 a couple of weekends ago at 0000 UTC in Arabic. It's coming from the east. Period. If you want to hear Indos, there are several easily heard in our mornings.
