RE: [HCDX] Papua New Guinea 4890/3365

I frequently listen to the PNG local stations as I get almost
constant reception from my location (armchair down at the coast
and reasonably good here in Portland).

The regionals sometimes (but rarely) are in parallel with 4890
for programming (The one exception is that most, but not all,
carry the NBC news from 4890 after the ToH).
After the usual signoff at 1200 UTC - if the station stays on,
the programming is almost always parallel with 4890.  There is
no set pattern as to which station stays on after 1200 - but
frequently 3205, 3315, 3335, 3355 and 3385 do... 3365 Milne Bay
seems to have its transmitter repaired after July of this year
- they were at pipsqueak levels down on the coastal beverages
for the past two years....

The difficulty with QSLing after 1200 is that they seem to categorically 
reject any of the parallel 4890 as proof of reception -- you
should try for the local programming. I have several letters
stating this from a couple of different local stations.
