WORLDWIDE DX CLUB Weekly Top News

listened to RNZI every day for nx from N.Z. and was rather pleased to
learn that I was missing N.Z.'s coldest spell in recent memory!
Naturally being close to Papua New Guinea I had a look at what stations
were on air and this is what I heard.
NBC Port Moresby was strong morning and evening on 4890 kHz and on 9675
kHz during the day. However RRI Jakarta on 9680 kHz knocked them around a
bit. That is an example of poor freq planning I would think!
Not all of the 90 mb regional stations are on air at present. The
strongest was Radio Central on 3290 kHz in the local evenings, but some
days there was no modulation, just a strong carrier. The other stations
heard were on 3305, 3315, 3325, 3345 & 3385 kHz, as well as R. New Ireland
on 3905 kHz.
I only heard two medium wave stations, NBC Port Moresby on 585 kHz and
Radio Morobe, Lae on 810 kHz mixing with RRI Merauke in INSn West Papua.
R. Morobe could not be heard on 3220 kHz.
The Catholic Radio Network on 4960 kHz could be heard every evening
between about 0800-1200 UTC. It wasn't very strong but was readable. They
had a Vatican Radio programme on Saturday around 0830 UTC, complete with
Vatican Radio's interval signal.

Buryatiya Similar, that new freq - 3955 kHz. Today at 1230 UT (2130 local
time) Accepted on R. Rossii's this freq with the good signal comparable to
that, that was earlier on 4795 kHz. It shall be necessary to check up at
o'clock of a local annt. In the morning and has proved to be true in the
evening, that 3955 kHz is a new freq Buryat GTRK from Ulan-Ude, instead of
former freq 4795 kHz. I heard a local anntmt.
