Was very pleased to hear RRI Jambi at 1825 UT, lovely ID at 1830 UT on
with music for Ramazan on 4925 kHz. Good audio and strength. So the TXer
is in good shape altho not heard on the regular skeds for some months now.
At the same time also heard 3325 kHz RRI Palankaraya similar format.

Re: RRI Fak Fak.
Hello Mark, That's quite remarkable reception of Fak Fak - I would not be
surprised to learn that it is one of the first in western Europe. Possibly
those further north in Scandinavia have heard it, but maybe no one further
south.
I did try myself, but the noise level was just too high - though I did
hear 4925 with Koran at a little after 1900UT, and could recognise
Indonesian despite the noise. I think I could recognise Indonesian on
4790, so not an extended transmission from Rawalpindi.
Now keep your ears on 4605 and see if Serui becomes audible. It's on the
same island as Fak Fak, but slightly further to the east, so around the
same time - if it is on air early during Ramadan. This shows that darkness
is not necessary to hear some 60m signals. I would guess grey line at our
end, and the last reflection point being on it.

Congrats to RRI heard here in EUR these days, on high noise level.
For all other listen to "Song of the Coconut Island"
