Also ist es dann im Prinzip genau die "E25":


http://priyom.org/number-stations/english/e25
"....The music intro used depends on the ID. For example, the ID's in
the 83# range use the Umm Kulthum song "انت عمري" (Enta Omri). Another
common Umm Kulthum song used as the intro is أروح لمين (Arouh Limin).
Transmissions on 6140KHz don't seem to use music as intro. Allthough
pieces of Enta Omri were heard on this frequency without following E25
transmission. Sometimes pieces of music can be heard after or during a
transmission.
The music used from Umm Kulthum is taken from a live concert in Paris in
1967. (applause from the audience can be heard)



Behind the scenes

Mistakes are quite common on E25. Ranging from Windows login/logout and
error sounds leaking on air, to the complete transmission failing.

The station uses a computer running Windows 7 with a soundcard to send
the numbers (prior to February 2016 Windows XP was used), it used the
Cityscape soundpack on Windows 7 from February to June 2016, judging by
the sounds leaked on air (see 2016 logs). Nowadays it seems that the
soundpack has been changed to the Nature pack.

The station seems to use the same transmitter site as Radio Cairo. As a
test transmission was heard using the same transmitter problems as Radio
Cairo. ( see N&O Newsletter 222 )

The station is known to have at least 2 transmitters. One main AM
transmitter used for regular transmissions, and one SSB transmitter set
in USB mode. The SSB transmitter is only used for backup.

E25 seems to be using a hotswitch method for changing frequencies. The
default frequency of the transmitter appears to be 6140KHz. Sometimes
when a transmission is made on 9450KHz, a carrier is noted on 6140KHz,
then it switches to 9450KHz.

The program that runs on the PC is known for crashing often. Sometimes
the PC can be heard restarting mid transmission, or there is a long
pause which may indicate the program crashed, since Windows 7 error
sounds can be heard.

Sometimes the operator can be heard playing solitaire....."

(Wikipedia Encyclopedia) : Um Kulthum had a contralto vocal range. She
can sing as low as the 2nd octave, and has the ability to sing as high
as 8th octave at her vocal peak.Her remarkable ability to produce 14,000
vibrations/second with her vocal cords,unparalleled vocal strength (no
commercial mic for singing can withstand its strength forcing her to
stand at 1-2meter radius away, her voice's unique breathtaking beauty
over convention made her the most incomparable voice of all times .


https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Umm_Kulthum
"...Ihr Ruhm in der arabischen Welt ist mit dem von Maria Callas und den
Beatles in der westlichen Welt vergleichbar. Sie war eine enge Freundin
und Unterstützerin des Offiziers und späteren Präsidenten Gamal Abdel
Nasser seit ihrer Kindheit..."
"...Im Mai 1934 weihte Umm Kulthum den ersten ägyptischen Rundfunksender
Radio Cairo ein..."
".....Über die Jahrzehnte führte Umm Kulthum ihre Karriere erfolgreich
weiter fort, ihr Ruhm wuchs dabei kontinuierlich, und sie wurde
allmählich zu einem nationalen Symbol. Nach der ägyptischen Niederlage
im Sechstagekrieg unternahm sie eine Tournee durch viele arabische
Länder und trat zweimal im Olympia in Paris auf, ihre einzigen Auftritte
im Westen während ihrer ganzen Karriere. Die Einnahmen dieser Tournee
spendete sie dem Wiederaufbau der ägyptischen Armee...."
