PAPUA NEW GUINEA 5960 Radio Fly at 1138-1203 UT July 28. Generally fair with good peaks; EG pops (Donna Summer, etc.), M ancr in En with ID's; short anmt at 1159:40 UT, then more mx past ToH. // 3915 kHz which for a while was just as good (using USB to escape Voice of the People on 3912 kHz). By 1200 UT, 5960 kHz was considerably better. 3290 R. Central (pres) 1141-1220+ Jul 29. Island & pop mx, M ancr in Pidgin (I think); bird call at 1202 UT was followed by what sounded like En news, but can't be sure; back to music at 1207. No ID's heard. Fair but deteriorating after 1200 UT. 3334.97 R. East Sepik 1223-1235+ Jul 29. Gal talking in En about "Free Radio Bible"; couldn't tell if that was the current program in progress or just a program note; a bit of music at 1230 was followed by more talk, still in En, I think. To my ears, Pidgin-accented English sounds a lot like English-accented Pidgin.
