I'm not sure what station this is, but I've noticed it most days in the past week. The carrier is actually at 11629.76 kHz, which may be a clue.

EDIT: The latest edition of the Eibi schedule (10/5) has Radio Kuwait listed at 11630 1300-1600. So I guess that's it. I'm surprised that their transmitter is off frequency like that.
