Does anyone know what language this is?

This is from this morning at 6 am.

According to ShortwaveSchedule.com, the only station broadcasting at the time was Radio Saudi in Arabic from Riyadh.

It just seems too good to be true I could get that from over 9,000 miles just barefoot.


My camera can only take videos under 15 seconds now for some reason without overloading the file data.

that doesnt sound very much like arabic to me.. china is also on this frequency at the same time, but so is Saudi.

I can hear 100kw on 11780 from brazil daily, 12000km away..almost like a local AM SW propagation and its bility to travel is way different then AM
 
China would make more sense but it was not listed as broadcasting on that frequency at the time.

Or maybe ShortwaveSchedule.com isn't up to date on current broadcasts?

There apparently were a lot of badly tuned medium and shortwave stations in Latin America in the 70s.

There were a couple of medium wave stations in Latin America in the 50's, 60's and 70's that had DX-able harmonics, but they were relatively few in number. And there were a few, like powerful La Voz de Barranquilla in Colombia, that was a kHz or to off of its 760 AM frequency for many years.

But Latin America licensed stations on different allocation tables that worked locally but did not conform with US standards. The Costa Ricans every 25 kHz on AM were unusual, as were countries like Honduras, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Panama, Ecuador and Perú that used 5 kHz steps. And much of the Caribbean used "Split Frequencies" such as nearly all the Windward Islands, Surinam and the ABC Islands as well as Haiti.

Those were normal, by their standards.

It's rare, but ive heard a station from Damman, Saudi Arabia that was on a frequency that was a 9 AND 10khz channel.. 1260! most of the transpolar DX from the middle east and europe i hear is on 9khz channels only
 
St. Kitts and Nevis was on 555 khz until maybe 2011. ZIZ was the calls. Heard by plenty on the east coast.
During excellent TP condx in October 2018, I think I heard Chinese under KGO-810 around local sunrise. 9khz away on 819, KCBS Pyongyang was knocking the socks off KGNW-820. JOWF-1440 Sapporo (on a combined 9/10khz channel) is pretty common by DXers on the WA and BC coasts when conditions are good.
