Radio Santa Cruz, 6134,74, 0916-0930, Haven't heard this well enough to report in recent days, but with music and Spanish comments, noted a fair signal here today from Radio Santa Cruz. Had to notch out the Brazilian located on 6135 KHz however. At 0920 after some music, a male comments mentioning "Santa Cruz" often. A recheck at 1017 produced a good signal. (Chuck Bolland, FL)

Heard under RRI Palangkaraya with pop songs in English; ToH seemed to give frequencies; choral anthem (not the instrumental National Anthem I heard May 10). Reception weaker today, hence no positive ID (Ron Howard, CA).
