After an early start at after 4:00 am, it's nice to lean back, close your eyes and be serenaded by PNG! 3 mins to 12 time check, and end of program (actual time was on 13:56, .clocks run a little fast in PNG ;-) . Sign-off with all the MW and SW freqs, followed by the NA at 14:00. They always leave the open carrier on. (Walt Salmaniw-BC-CAN, DXplorer July 24/WWDX/Top News)
