3290, 1332-, Radio Central Jul 22 Fair to good reception on past their normal sign-off at 12:00. EZL western mx. Only other 90 meter PNGs audible were 3305 Radio Western (poor), 3315 Radio Manus (good) and 3385 Radio East New Britain (fair to good). (Walt Salmaniw-BC-CAN, DXplorer July 24/WWDX/Top News)
4890, 1352-, NBC Karai Service Jul 21 National programming from Port Moresby with EZL (ABBA) mx. 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)
