BC-DX TopNews WWDXC #945 BC-DX 945

could hear something like "Saut al Lubnan". They speak very often about
Lebanon, Beirut, they mention something what seems to be "Beirut time ...
Greenwich Mean Time ..." etc.
The format of the station is quite "modern". If somebody is interested to
take a closer look at this station, I would like to offer my assistance of
supplying some recordings (not made yet) if the reception is not good in
your area.
The station is not listed in WRTH (there is a section with Lebanon as a
target but this station is not mentioned), not even in its MW list.

Looks as though its the Lebanese radio station al Nur (or Al Nour)
I found this report about it on DXing the Finnish Way:
al-Nur Radio on 1071 kHz. Jan 19, 2007.
The Hezbollah-controlled radio station, al-Nur Radio (Light radio), has
been logged in recent months on 1071 kHz. The transmitter site is believed
to be in Syria and transmission power 100 kW. The programme consists of
relays of a FM-station of the same name and newscasts from al-Manar
Television station.

It IS listed in WRTH 2010 but under Syria - see p.355. The tx site is
Tartus 100 kW.
