Dear Dxers, while listening to SW radio via GlobalTuners receiver in
Imperia, Italy on June 19 at 2052 UT on 9620 kHz, I heard music and then
YL in Arabic, and then again music, and then at 2057 UT tx was switched
off.
The music and the accent sounded like Korean, but when checked aoki, eibi,
bcl, df schedules, there is nothing in Arabic on 9620 kHz at this time
segment. I further checked KBS World Radio website, and there is no Arabic
xmission at 2000-2100 UT at all!
I've checked 9620 kHz at 2000 UT on June 21 and it is KBS World Radio in
Arabic!

KBS Arabic Unid on 9620 kHz till 2057 UT. Probably either Sines, Kigali or
Trincomalee, considering the cut-off at 2057 UT, also considering that
using own transmission capacity appears to be more likely for DW's new
airtime exchange with KBS.
