RRI launches "fascination of radio" contest

Radio Romania International has launched a new essay-writing contest on “the fascination of radio listening”. Participants are invited to write an essay on the topic “Why are you listening to the radio? Why are you listening to RRI?” and send it by snail mail, fax, e-mail or by filling in a form on the station’s website. Depending on how interesting, complex and though-provoking your essays are, you can win an interesting prize. There will be many substantial prizes and smaller prizes consisting of arts objects related to Romania and the Romanian culture, and also to the public radio.

Update on Kang Guru Radio

INDONESIA

Kang Guru Radio English program on 9680, via RRI Jakarta.

Sue Rodger of KGRE has been informed by RRI Jakarta that they have a new schedule: 0800-0820 UT on Wed. and Fri. (ex: 1000-1020 UT on Wed.and Sun.), which would explain why I have not heard them on their former schedule for almost two months now. Within the past hour Kevin has updated their website with the new schedule www.kangguru.org/broadcastschedule.html . This change is an unfortunate development for me, as I had enjoyed their entertaining programming for some years now, but think the new time is too early for reception in Monterey, whereas the former time of 1000 was close to perfect for me. Jakarta sunset will not be till about 1045 UT. The only other alternative is to attempt to hear another RRI station that carries KGRE programs, but that would be a real challenge
