Anybody know what this might be? It sounds like Arabic, I'm thinking maybe Egypt long path. Very strong at 13:00z today then fading down to S5 by 13:45. Musical selection then 4 or 5 minutes of talking. I can maybe zip an audio clip.
12100KHz

Normally I would say try this:
http://hfradio.org/swbc/
But they don't show any thing on 12,100.0 khz. They do have 12,095 and 12,105 khz though.

A quick blast through the NASWA Journals for the last 3 or 4 months as well as 4 weeks of Flashsheets came up empty. I would suggest getting on the DXLD (DX Listening Digest) Yahoo group - there are several folks there (including a rather well known producer of the pgm of the same name...) who have complete schedules, and a few that speak Arabic, that can help.
Also listen very carefully around the 1/2 hour. Often the major broadcasters will ID then. Keep in mind that many countries transmit in Arabic to the Horn of Africa (and Middle East, of course) as well, although I suspect you might be onto something with Egypt. If you are lucky, they will play an Interval Signal and change their service from one language to another. That's as good as a spoken ID, as IS (as they're known) are unique from station to station.
There used to be - maybe still is, I don't know if we have it in our wiki - a site that collected recordings of IS. I'll check on this later and post it if I come up with it.

This is the way many will ID a station even though they don't speak or understand the language. Very handy site.

There are two Arabic stations nearby that I hear on occasion. Radio Damascus on 12085 and Egypt on 12050. While not a match, at least they are close enough for consideration.

They gave a website the other day at the top of the hour but all I could understand was "WWW" I also recorded the interval signal at sign-on at 13:00. I think it is a religious bc somewhere. It is definitely on 12100, I can tune on LSB and USB using a 746PRO. One day it was very strong, some days I hear echo like maybe it is coming long path too.
Thanks for the suggestions.
