I've my doubts on the Google Earth image marked as of 12 Aug 2009, compared to the Microsoft Virtual Earth image, which shows the two masts at Saadiyat in excellent sharpness.

This was // only a slight echo behind usual 7375 kHz, which is Wertachtal 100 kW at 300 degrees plus Nauen 100 kW at 325 degrees. But stronger signal from the Germans. Evidently VTC, or whatever it is called this week, is making a bid to take business away from DTK, or whatever it is called this week. Dragan says this test on 7385 kHz is for four nights only, UT Feb 2-5 at 03-05 UT. (Glenn Hauser-OK-USA, dxld Feb 4) Radio Republica 9810 kHz.
