The powerful transmitter of Radio Riyadh in Ras al-Khair is off now, and it is possible to receive Radio 208 on 1440 kHz without significant co-channel QRM here. The signal is usually quite weak at local evenings, with rare fade-ins, when I can copy audio. I guess, the reception could even be much better at local mornings, however, unfortunately, I have no opportunity to check the frequency at morning time in some QRM-free place now.
Here is example of reception of the station on 1440 kHz on 24th of January 2022 at about 16.23 UTC during walk in park with my Degen DE-1103. One can hear Parisienne Walkways by Phil Lynott and Gary Moore:
Output power of the transmitter on 1440 kHz is 300 W, as stated on the eQSL received shortly. Many thanks to Stig Hartvig Nielsen!
RX: Degen DE-1103
