9310 1300-1400 41,49,54 A-A 200kW 132degr, Burmese?and I guess that the Family Radio transmission in listed Burmese at 1300-1400 and heard - just about - on 9310 kHz, will also be from one of theweak modulated transmitters.

Saudi Arabia
I've also been hearing a station slightly off-channel 11855 mixing with WYFR. My bet is that it's Saudi Arabia - Jeddah - the second programme. It's too weak at 1300 for me to measure the frequency - and is QRMed later - but this transmitter always operated off frequency when on 25m. I doubt that Iranawila will be operating off frequency enough to cause a
heterodyne on a regular basis. (...) (Noel R Green-UK, wwdxc BC-DX Nov 24)
Yes, checked the Jeddah 11855 channel at present at 1100 UT Nov 24th. Tiny signal and audio under threshold as always, could only detect spoken conversation reception of Jeddah was much better southerly when touring in Spain !
Measured again 11854.90 kHz at 1100 UT. I guess also, that's Riyadh's 2nd programm on registered channel.
That's seems to be the daytime frequency in B-07. Jeddah on A-07 in October was always on 9675 kHz also on late mornings and noon. But heard nothing on 9580 and 9675 kHz today, the usual Jeddah channels.
Nearby heard the BUZZY Riyadh 500 kW beast on 11935 this morning 1050 UT, scheduled 0900-1200 UT. Noted FOUR carriers, when switched the E1 to SYNC SSB mode, at x.20, x.10, x.00, and -x.90 kHz. (wb, wwdxc BC-DX Nov 24)
