Tomorrow (today, UTC) marks the 15th anniversary of a great loss to the
DXing hobby, Professor John Bryant who passed away on Tuesday February 9th,
2010. It's difficult to believe that he left us so many years ago
already. John was preparing his home in Stillwater, OK for sale before
moving out permanently to the beautiful mountain top home on Mt.
Constitution on Orcas Island. Unfortunately, he had a fall from a ladder
sustaining a fatal head injury. His obituary outlines his many passions,
especially radio.

https://www.islandssounder.com/obituaries/john-hulon-bryant/

Anyone who ever met John quickly realized his amazing intellect and
curiosity. I had the great pleasure of knowing John, and his wife Linda
for a number of years. John visited my DX cabin in Masset on a couple of
occasions, and we visited John and Linda a few times on Orcas Island,
including picking up a new Eton E1 receiver, as well as a bunch of electric
fence posts which at that time were not found in Canada, but very useful
for stringing DKAZ antennas. My son and I flew to Orcas Island and after a
lovely afternoon, escaped the Island just before a major storm to get back
to Victoria is our little Cessna 172. I no longer own the ETon, but still
have many memories of John, and a few of his matching transformers, chokes,
the electric fence posts, and all the volumes of Proceedings. John was an
amazing man. I'm sure he's up there kicking himself that he missed out on
the SDR revolution that we've experienced since his passing. R.I.P, my
dear friend! Walt Salmaniw Victoria/Masset, BC

Subject: Re: Voice of Indonesia - Anomaly or actual change of format?

INDONESIA. 4755, VOI, 1301-1400 UT, Feb 5 (Wednesday), heard via Kiwi SDR remote at Bandung, Indonesia.
Yes, a major change in their format. Now with a more informal style of a DJ; giving local Jakarta time (5-6) and
playing a lot of pop songs and preempting many programs that were formerly on every day. 3325 (VOI) remains
silent.

1301-1311: Intro and news. 1311: "Commentary" about the progress being made with the new capital, Nusantara.

1314-1324: Pop songs; second day without the patriotic song “Bagimu Negeri” and no "Today in History."

1324: Announcer/DJ chatting and with "wise words" quotation - "If you want to be a great leader, write like a journalist
and speak like a storyteller."

1336: Item about managing village funds; priority of 15% towards dealing with poverty (news story -
https://en.antaranews.com/news/343781/minister-calls-for-responsible-management-of-village-funds ).

1353: Tourist info about Indonesia beach; similar to "Indonesian Wonders" format, but no program name mentioned today.

1355: DJ with time check (coming up to six, in Jakarta; so this broadcast must be recorded).

1355-1359: Rather a brief segment of "Music Corner," with only one song.
