This is from Sun May 21 at 1714UTC here in Alaska... I couldn't find it listed anywhere in any online database.... I thought I may have heard a station or program name in there when live listening but didn't note where and can't find it now. It sounds more news magazine-y like then religious.

Any ideas who? Here's the audio:

I get stuff in that neighborhood from Asian sources and Arabic sources, same format but my understanding is it comes from within the lower 48 states. My guess would be Carolina's or maybe Florida. I don't know for sure, I basically use them for a radio test and to see what conditions there are that day, no different than WWV or 27.025.

Did you look in the SWSkeds listings available from the reflector of the same name on groups.io? Did you post this on the World of Radio reflector, again from groups.io? There are quite a few different places you can look for this

I'm not a member of WOR anymore, used to be and don't care to be anymore.

I'm not a member of SWKeds. I did however post this in another place besides this website

Not WHRI in South Carolina, they don't lease to outside sources or programmers not already associated with LeSea Broadcasting. This also isnt WRMI in FL

Just played part of this for a coworker, who is a native Arabic speaker. He said it sounded like Almazight, probably from Morocco, but could be from Algeria. He did not hear Arabic in the first two minutes that he listened to.

Interesting that it would just cut off like it did, with a minute or more of dead air.... no ID or anything. I know it's not all that unusual, as I've heard the same on other stations lately, but still...
