The signal was poor at the start of transmission, SINPO was 15111, was barely audible and the transmitter hum was higher than usual. At 12:24 UT [sic] the signal strengthened and attained SINPO of 55555 within a few minutes and transmitter hum disappeared. Such a strong signal is quite unprecedented for API-3 transmitter which is more than 40 years old. The signal remained stable at SINPO of 55555 till commencement of Gujrati service at 1145 UT on the same frequency and remained strong till close of Gujrati Service at 1215 UT, May 15.

(wb, wwdxc BC-DX TopNews May 22) Pakistan's PBC launches emergency coverage. The Pakistan Broadcasting Corporation (PBC) has begun emergency coverage from an area in the north of the country where a lake could overflow, the Daily Times reports. Attabad Lake was formed when landslides blocked a river in January. Officials have said it could overflow within the next week. The PBC control room in Hunza has set up a hotline to pass on timely and accurate information about latest developments. A PBC official said the control room would coordinate with civil and military authorities engaged in relief and rescue efforts. He said Radio Pakistan also planned to install a transmitter in the area on an emergency basis. The transmitter, meant for the live broadcast of news from the area, would be operational in a day or two. "Radio remains an effective medium for people of this far-flung area after their displacement due to the lake formed by the landslide and it keeps them informed about latest happenings," the official said. (ABU, Asia Pacific Broadcasting Union, May 21) PAPUA NEW GUINEA I can receive it today now, likely New station of Papua New Guinea. UnID station in English and Pidgin? seeming to be Pacific station on 5960 kHz from May 18 at +0930-1100 UT (blocked out on CRI 5955 kHz) with file:///Z|/DOKUMENTATION-BULLETINS/WWDXD-BCDX/2010/bcdx965.txt[11.06.2012 10:40:06]
eceived by many Japanese DXer. However, this frequency neighborhood is polluted by the jamming from North Korea. After Urumqi on 5960 kHz s/off of 1800 UT, I can receive non-stop music station seeming to be the same station, QRMed on VoTurkey. Audio file: May 20 at 0900 by Taku in Akita (Sei-ichi Hasegawa-JPN NDXC, May 22) 5960 Unidentified. Tuned in at 2320 to hear traditional island music. In fact, the entire program was local music, except for the one pop song, "Kokomo" by the Beach Boys. Scant talk by English-language woman announcer, in fact I only heard two talk breaks prior to 0000: one at 2340 and another at 2352. Difficult to copy, as she was soft spoken and the station was suffering deep fades (all daylight path between my QTH and PNG). Hoped for a clue at 0000 UT but I didn't hear the expected NBC National News theme. In fact, it seemed to go across top-of-hour with no ID but it could have easily been missed during fade. Have to think this is NOT a second frequency for Wontok Light. Can't see that station running a secular format on a local Sunday morning, Also, for what it's worth, this station has the NBC "sound." Strangely, I have heard the same Beach Boys song on many NBC regional stations perhaps it's one of a few "approved" pop songs for their playlist? Anyway, if I had to place a bet, I'd wager it IS the NBC and probably in the Port Moresby area. Late morning reception also indicates it would probably be running around 10kW. Reception of this strongly correlates to midday reception, years ago, of the now-defunct NBC 9675 outlet. 22 May. (David Sharp-NSW-AUS, dxld May 23) Radio Fly, in Tabubil. 24 hrs. on 5960 kHz PNG. Probably I think that it is this station. Cf. DXLD 2004 4-150 (Sei-ichi Hasegawa-JPN NDXC, dxld May 22) [later] I have seen "Radio Wai", and also "Radio Fly." I think it is "Radio Karai" (which is the name of the NBC national service). Looks like this one may need a little more work. (David Sharp-NSW-AUS, dxld May 23) As of May 24, many Japanese DXer watched 5960 kHz. I received Radio Fly on 5960 kHz at +0845-1058(B/out) UT on 5960 kHz. The Pops DJ program title is "Super Hit program" by male, station jingle and ID as "103.8 FM Radio Fly". It seems that community FM of Radio Fly started SW newly. First noted on May 18 at 0920 UT. Audio file: at 0958 UT on May 24 by Noda (Sei-ichi Hasegawa-JPN NDXC, dxld May 24) Reply from David Sharp (NSW Australia): So, it is a community broadcaster! Good work on the ID, as 'Radio Fly" and "Karai" can sound similar (at least to my ears). More info from the Radio Fly website: Radio Fly is a community radio station which is funded and operated by Ok Tedi Mining Limited. It provides a vital community information service to isolated areas of the North Fly region, parts of West Sepik, the rest of file:///Z|/DOKUMENTATION-BULLETINS/WWDXD-BCDX/2010/bcdx965.txt[11.06.2012 10:40:06]
