[HCDX] Recent Loggings (WRNO, PNGs)

["Dave Valko" <djvalko@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

USA   7505.35  WRNO  Signal on the air at 0156:32, then pgm start up at 
0158:58 with ID by M over mx "This is WRNO Worldwide broadcasting of 
frequency 7505 khz from its transmitter site in New Orleans LA", and 
immediately into Pop mx.  0203 canned echo ID w/freq and QTH, nx by Jonathon 
Peter 0204-0206, canned ID, and back to mx.  Good signal but occasional 
brief fades.  (20 Feb.)

PAPUA NEW GUINEA   3305  R. Western  1133 M studio host in what sounded like 
all EG and listener acknowledgement in EG w/ment of ".thank you very 
much.enjoy" and song dedication.  Did have some nearby SSB traffic QRM at 
this time.  1135-1139 lively island Pop songs, 1140 M anncr in PD w/apparent 
song anmnt mentioning 1980, PSA.  1146-1148 M anncr returned.  1150 M anncr 
w/ment of "radio station", ".listeners ?? music which.news.listen to.radio 
?? broadcasting.", ending w/song anmnt, and into lively Island song.  1158 
full ID w/freq, meterband, FM freq, ment of February, and goodnight, soft 
mx, brief bird call, and end of pgm at 1159*.  Surprised to hear this.  Fair 
strength but getting too much lcl QRN.  (20 Feb.)

PAPUA NEW GUINEA   3365  R. Milne Bay  1159 M w/rel. pgm sounding like EG to 
at least 1203.  Came back about a minute and a half later and found the pgm 
was off and only a buzzing in the signal remained.  Maybe they cut it off in 
mid-pgm??  The buzzing (no audio) continued for at least the  next 5 
minutes.  Fairly decent.  (20 Feb.)

PAPUA NEW GUINEA   3325  R. Bougainville  1200 long period of nonstop mx. 
Could hear tlk by M and W in pres. IN from apparently RRI Palangkaraya 
underneath for a while.  1221 W anncr w/song anmnt, then promo for mx pgm 
and back to mx.  1226 NBC promo, live W again w/ment of "program", "music", 
and "11 o'clock".  1226-1230 "Red Red Wine" by UB40, and W w/song anmnt, and 
back to Pop mx.  (20 Feb.)

PAPUA NEW GUINEA   3235  R. West New Britain  1153-1158 Native mx w/chorals 
and percussion, then into pleasant island song filler, 1159 W anncr in PD, 
then Pop and Island mx pgm w/same studio W anncr hosting after every song 
w/TCs and song anmnts, and many listener messages after 1200.  Picked up 
after 1210.  Came back at 1234 and playing more Pops, 1135 W again w/song 
anmnts, several ments of "listeners", "telephone", "broadcast", "program", 
listener message, TC, back to mx.  1240 shorter anmnt w/TC, ment program and 
"OK listeners ?? dedication.".  1302 W again anmnt but no ID noted, and more 
mx after 1304.  (20 Feb.)

PAPUA NEW GUINEA   3335  R. East Sepik  Just caught Bryan Adams song "We're 
in Heaven" while passing through at 1211.  Good.  (20 Feb.)

INDONESIA??   2960  RPD Manggarai (tent.)  1213 light mx on electric guitar 
at t/in (peaked at this time).  Then causal tlk by M anncr, definitely NOT 
sounding like EG.  A different M anncr commented briefly at 1216.  1217 back 
to easy mx for 15 seconds then M voice-over anmnts.  1219 sounded like 
Island choral mx.  Very fady and just about gone by 1220.  Certainly didn't 
sound a like a domestic harmonic.  Could this have been Manggarai??  Anyone 
hearing this lately??  (20 Feb.)

INDONESIA??   2897.03v  RPDT2 Ngada??  Mx at 1118, then M anncr at 1123. 
Just not strong enough to determine the type of mx or lang.  Didn't seem 
that much weaker than 2960.  Drifting up too.  Was up to 2897.1 by the time 
it disappeared at 1231.  No harmonic works for MW, so what could this have 
been??  Nothing heard on a CA Web rx, but then again West New Britain wasn't 
coming in either.  Would be shocked if this was indeed Ngada.  (20 Feb.)

PAPUA NEW GUINEA   3385  R. East New Britain  1304 Reggae mx.  1306 M anncr 
taking phone caller, 1308 deadair, then Pop song.  1312 short canned promo 
anmnt and more rom. mx.  1320 live M anncr in PD and took another phone 
call, long ad-tlk to BoH.  1330 M anncr again, then choral mx, and soft song 
at 1332.  Suddenly off at 1336:54.  Already fading at t/in, but did stay in 
for more than an hour and a half after lcl sunrise as would be expected. 
(20 Feb.)
