3266.42 RRI Gorontalo 1252-1330 Sep 7. Vocal music, female announcer in Jakarta news relay at 1201 UTC with no SCI; back to local pgm'g at 1320 UTC (music). Fair at tune-in, weak by 1330. Has been on past 1330 for the past couple of weeks or more, so apparently a new sked - used to close down around 1230. (John Wilkins-CO-USA, DXplorer Sept 9)
unID 3325 1305-1315 Sep 9. Two stations here, one was undoubtedly RRI Palangkaraya. The other may have been R. North Solomons. One stn, probably RRI, had a man talking; the other had vocal music and seemed \\ to 3204.97 but not sure - band condx were pretty cruddy this morning. The 3325 mx stn and 3204.97 both went off the air around 1310. Have not seen a log of North Solomons in a long time.
