Africa on FM - Al Shababiyah FM



Heard on May 2010, not identified on then until now March 2011 when Samir Elahcene checked the clip. With my Arabic skills this had been mission impossible. This skip is now my record with 3421 km.

It seems from the picture attached that there could have been bounce on the Hungarian ground (near Gyor, 1700km), luckily there was no transmitter at that spot. Also ES clouds must have been above Lithuania/Kaliningrad and South Italy (Parco Nazionale del Ciento e Vallo Di Diano to be precise). Another thing which made this possible was a clear channel on 88.8 MHz. Classic FM Jämsä, 87 km to SW from here, ceased transmission 2009 and Summer Festival station in summer 2010 had not yet started.

One interesting point is that there were no other stations logged on that day. This seems similar occasion as Annaba FM from Algeria later that good summer in this same frequency, it was also only station heard at that time.

And the station itself: mp3
