107.4 1746 ? UNID, ? Arabic music. Later a phone in. Libya?  


After a couple of days away from radio matters due to family staying with us I managed to get straight back into some welcome Es today, though I became slightly bewildered by the sheer number of Arabic stations coming through. Morocco, Algeria and Tunisia were there but I couldn't help but think there might have been something else slightly more exotic coming through. Either way, I found it all a little too challenging and went off to do other things. In fact Algeria is still coming through at the bottom of the band as I type. My confused brain cell needs a rest!

Good DX!
