When I first tuned in, I heard more noise than audio, but the carrier was evident. By 1635 UTC and afterward, the audio faded up and I heard talking in Arabic, mostly in male voices, but at least one female voice, too. I compared it to the signal as heard from an SDR in Romania (YO3IUL).

From 1643-1700 UTC, the programming alternated between Arabic music and talking. By 1700 UTC, it was still audible, but just barely most of the time. When I checked back at 1800 UTC, Firedrake dominated the frequency to jam Radio Free Asia.

Good morning overall for hearing Saudi, as Radio Saudi was nearly local-like on 13710 kHz and very listenable on 15435 kHz as well just before 1700 UTC.
