Solomon Islands
Heard on 5020 kHz, SIBC - The Voice of the Nation. Heard on May 27, at 0925. Solomon Islands had an earthquake, so SIBC increased the audio level today and extended their broadcasting
time well past 1200. Noted from 1154 to 1201, with the usual "evening devotional." Closing ID in English and National Anthem, 1201-1316.+ Over an hour of non-stop pop songs in English, without announcements or ID. Assume this was not a Wantok FM relay, which in
the past was noted with frequent IDs between the songs, whenever running past the normal sign off time (1200* UT). All I usually hear is a carrier, with no trace of any audio, so today was a treat for me!
