PAPUA NEW GUINEA 3385 Radio East New Britain, 1230-1257, June 16, in
Tok Pisin, ad for auto dealership which had some English, DJ with pop
songs, fair; 1218-1237, June 17, DJ in Tok Pisin playing pop songs in
English, seemed to be a dedications program, between songs she gave list
of names with their various locations (Solomon Islands, etc.), fair
(recently better than their usual reception, as Walt Salmaniw also
observed on the 18th).

3220 1055-1135, R. Morobe Jun 19 Very weak signal with male announcer in
English at 1055; 3+1 time pips at 1100 followed by (I think) log drums,
but the signal had dropped to threshold by 1100. Utility QRM on frequency
through 1135. Tentative.
3260 1055-1135, R. Madang Jun 19 Male announcer in Pidgin to 1100 short,
distinctive flute or woodwind melody, then male and female announcers with
presumed news. Slightly better signal at 1115. Possible ID by male at
1130. Weak signal.
3290 1055-1135, R. Central Jun 19 Very weak signal of PNG sing-sing music
across top of the hour; old folk music or C&W at 1105. More sing-sing and
string band music with vocals at 1125. I reviewed the Perseus SDR
recording at numerous points between 1050 and 1130, but never noted an
announcer. Tentative.
3315 1055-1135, R. Manus Jun 19 Signal really in the mud with talk by
male and female announcers, until Pidgin language was clearly heard at
1115. Noted Anne Murray song at 1128; female announcer mentioning PNG at
1132, then into more country music. Fair at best.
3335 1050-1135, R. East Sepik Jun 19 Two male announcers with interview
and music interludes from 1050 through the top of the hour. At 1100 there
was a mention of 'NBC Radio, Papua New Guinea' and then log drums. Into
presumed news in Pidgin, and discussion in English about the environment
at 1115. Fair signal.
3385 1050-1135, R. East New Britain Jun 19 At 1050 tune-in, noted a
mention of 'Yumi Ulgidah gospel program can be heard on weekends' by a
male announcer. This caught my attention, as that was the same name of a
program I heard and recorded in 1995 during a DXpedition with particularly
strong PNG reception. The announcer continued through 1100, listing
upcoming programs for the evening, with many 'o'clocks' heard. Mentions of
Papua New Guinea 1105, and into contemporary Christian tunes and C&W
music. Carrier dropped briefly at 1123, but was back one minute later in
the middle of a public service announcement or advertisement in Pidgin.
