Papua New Guinea monitoring update


PAPUA NEW GUINEA

I checked the 90 mb frequencies every day in Denmark. The only one with a positive result was R East Sepik on 3335 on Feb 12, 13 and 14 with English news at 1202. Several IDs as "Radio East Sepik" in between the newscast. ID at 2008 after news, some advs and the program announcement 2010 onwards. There was no other 90 mb channel showing up with any kind of signal using the 065 and 095 degree beverages. One might presume the morning broadcasts from Papua still on variable schedule. 4890 was off and the 31mb channel 9675 also seems to be silent.

4960 R Maria, Vanimo, seems to be active here as scheduled, because there always is a very weak signal radiating from this direction between around 1800 until around 2100, but nothing positive as well. 7120 Wantok was also monitored continuously. Due to Eastern-Russia and China stations as well as European stations occupying the channel between 1200 and 2200 there was no reception possible unfortunately as well.
