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.
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.

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 definitely with Quran prgr. on 11784.91 kHz. At 0830 a weak carrier appeared on the long-time Saudi offset of 11854.94 kHz, but I couldn't get audio. 73, Mauno 14.9.2010 21:02, Wolfgang Bueschel kirjoitti:SAUDI ARABIA 11784.92-odd 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 levelon 11785 instead.Checked against Voice of Indonesia, Jakarta, but latter was still in 31 mbon odd 9525.97 kHz S=9+20dB seldom strong at 1645 UT. vy73 de Wolfgang df5sx
