reception. Report included a 7 min recording referred to in the e-mail and
a screen shot of the Perseus spectrum during reception at the same time
period on June 30. I won't be holding my breath on the QSL card, Hi! These
days, an e-mail QSL is pretty much all you can count on. E-mail rcvd read

which I will query Jobby):

Quote - Dear Bruce,
Greetings from Tabubil in the Star Mountains of the Western Province of
Papua New Guinea. Thank you for your email which I received yesterday. I
must apologise as I didn't get around to replying most of my emails
yesterday but am going through them today.
I confirm that you were listening to Radio Fly. We are an FM radio station
but only expanded into shortwave about a month ago. 5960 kHz & 3915 kHz.
What you were listening to was the service announcements by Beri Pius. She
is a journalist who does mainly news but tries a bit of broadcasting or
Disc Jockeying as well. She usually does the Friday & Saturday nights as
we are also short staffed. Thanks for your detailed report which I will
forward to our technical personnel. Unfortunately we haven't designed a
QSL card yet. Once we do, we will send you one.

If you use Jobby's gmail.com address, you will have to respond to his email
filter service request before the e-mail is forwarded, but that is
quick and easy (and safe). (DXplorer July 1)
RUSSIA We just came to know the Voice of Russia (VOR) Khabarovsk staffs
of Japanese language department are to resign and close the branch in
August. Khabarovsk branch has been known to us very friendly and has heart
warming programs. It seems the policy of the VOR has been changing to more
News oriented station, after a new head (Mr. Bistristky) came in to the
station in 2008. VOR programs, as appreciated by PWBR and nominated to Ten
of the Best Shows of the year for many years supported by abundance of
musical archives, has been known with its excellent music programs. Alas,
many of those music programs are vanishing and a kind of entertainment
programs are going to be less day by day. We concern even the listeners
letter corner is to be cut off. The SW transmission is only one frequency
this season. They had 3-4 frequencies in the past.
