why Filipino language scheduled ?

There are hundreds of thousands of Filipino native workers
living in fields and fruit plantations in Israel
and households in Saudi Arabia and UAE, Oman etc.
as low-cost workers.

I guess this mean that English on the program feed may be there from 0500, but no SW frequencies on air before 0745 when 7249.957 switch on early before the 0800 Persian?

Re Radio Kuwait Kabd:

mission via two SW units these days around 09 to 10 UT.

Not seen reported for very long time. Need to check via remotes.
