3215.09 RRI Manado, 1318-1355* Dec 6, vocal mx, M&W ancrs with long chats between songs; final song ended at 1355 and, after a short 10-sec. anmt, the stn went off the air. Generally fair signal, about even with the local noise level. Spot checks throughout the week show the same pattern, i.e. mx in this time frame, and going off the air arnd 1400, sometimes a bit earlier, sometimes later. Have never hrd them running Jakarta prgms, although they may do so earlier. Fqy has been the same all week, 3215.09. (John Wilkins-CO-USA, DXplorer Dec 11)

4750 RRI Makasar fair-poor at 1350 with soft choral European-style songs; woman ancr in Bahasa Indonesian [listed]; ID with the word "Makasar" at 1400; off at 1401 UT. Interesting that PWBR spells it Makassar; the usually authoritative Oxford World Atlas has Makasar. My first Indo regional; thanks to Ron Howard and Don Jensen for help on this.
