9524.96 Voice of Indonesia, 1030-1100 UT Noted local music with comments between tunes by a woman. Believe she announced whatever it was she announced, in Mandarin? I find it curious that China is not blocking this freq with their "Firedrake" signal, since Mandarin is schedule for this half hour according to a schedule I gleaned from the web. Just a thought. Signal was armchair here in Clewiston. (Chuck Bolland-USA, hcdx Nov 21)
Today Nov 21 are outstanding reception conditions towards AS and PAC. 11860 kHz RRI Jakarta shows a signal strength at my place, about S=9+20 dB on Eton E1 Radio from Lextronix. Armchair listening. (wb, wwdxc BC-DX Nov 21)
I'm glad you managed to hear RRI Jakarta on 11860 kHz. As I said, it puts in a really good signal to W.A. It is quite amazing how a single shortwave transmitter can cover a wide area.
