Radio Algeria Chaîne 3 on 252 khz at 210 UTC

Hearing OMs in what sounds like Arabic, not French, tonight (speaking rapidly) with minimal QRN for LW, and just an occasional beacon or similar intermittent beep from an adjacent frequency. Fades in an out, but relatively clear channel tonight.

All reception from this location, radio and antenna.
QTH New Hampshire (70 miles north of Boston).
Tecsun S-8800 and Kenwood R-2000, with about 135 feet of wire thrown up in the trees.

Same here in Michigan.

171 is a trace on the SDR - no real audio.  But 252 is as you describe.
