eceived by many Japanese DXer. However, this frequency neighborhood is
polluted by the jamming from North Korea. After Urumqi on 5960 kHz s/off
of 1800 UT, I can receive non-stop music station seeming to be the same
station, QRMed on VoTurkey.

5960 Unidentified. Tuned in at 2320 to hear traditional island music. In
fact, the entire program was local music, except for the one pop song,
"Kokomo" by the Beach Boys. Scant talk by English-language woman
announcer, in fact I only heard two talk breaks prior to 0000: one at 2340
and another at 2352. Difficult to copy, as she was soft spoken and the
station was suffering deep fades (all daylight path between my QTH and
PNG). Hoped for a clue at 0000 UT but I didn't hear the expected NBC
National News theme. In fact, it seemed to go across top-of-hour with no
ID but it could have easily been missed during fade.
Have to think this is NOT a second frequency for Wontok Light. Can't see
that station running a secular format on a local Sunday morning, Also, for
what it's worth, this station has the NBC "sound." Strangely, I have heard
the same Beach Boys song on many NBC regional stations perhaps it's one
of a few "approved" pop songs for their playlist? Anyway, if I had to
place a bet, I'd wager it IS the NBC and probably in the Port Moresby
area. Late morning reception also indicates it would probably be running
around 10kW. Reception of this strongly correlates to midday reception,
years ago, of the now-defunct NBC 9675 outlet. 22 May.

Radio Fly, in Tabubil. 24 hrs. on 5960 kHz PNG. Probably I think that it
is this station. Cf. DXLD 2004 4-150

[later] I have seen "Radio Wai", and also "Radio Fly." I think it is
"Radio Karai" (which is the name of the NBC national service). Looks like
this one may need a little more work.

As of May 24, many Japanese DXer watched 5960 kHz. I received Radio Fly on
5960 kHz at +0845-1058(B/out) UT on 5960 kHz. The Pops DJ program title is
"Super Hit program" by male, station jingle and ID as "103.8 FM Radio
Fly". It seems that community FM of Radio Fly started SW newly. First
noted on May 18 at 0920 UT.

Reply from David Sharp (NSW Australia):
So, it is a community broadcaster! Good work on the ID, as 'Radio Fly" and
"Karai" can sound similar (at least to my ears). More info from the Radio
Fly website:
Radio Fly is a community radio station which is funded and operated by Ok
Tedi Mining Limited. It provides a vital community information service to
isolated areas of the North Fly region, parts of West Sepik, the rest of
