after a long time (a couple of years at least I think) I am finally able

pick up the UAE on 13675 khz at 2:55 UTC perhaps the bad SW reception
cycle
is coming to an end? they are playing a song by a famous singer named
Fairouz... hopefully it will not fade out before the short english
program
starts... I'm listening to it on my 1938 Zenith 9S262 console radio with
a
long wire antenna hung outside my window...

Finally audible to you perhaps! They are pretty regular.

Congrats on getting it though.



Thanks for the congrats :-) If I remember right you are in Michigan? I
wonder if you being several hundred miles to the east of me makes their
signal regular for you but not for me? I wonder if the huge lake in between
MN/WI and MI makes a difference in the ability (or lack there of) for me to
receive signals that might be strong in MI... I know when I travel to
LaCrosse WI, I can receive signals there quite well that I can barely get
here...

That is interesting... propagation can do strange things.
