Sorry... the URL for the short audio clip should be:

I'm not *that* familiar with the Bird of Paradise call. Maybe this is just a
warbling siren, and I'm just being too DX-hopeful!

I'll be checking 7120 kHz the next few evenings, as well as during a coastal
DXpedition to Grayland on June 10th and 11th, which happens to be during the
Radio Wantok Light dedication ceremony.

PAPUA NEW GUINEA 7120, 0830-1200, Wantok Radio Light, Port Moresby May 23
TENTATIVE reception of this new PNG Christian outlet first noted with
religious-sounding music fading in at 0830. Four musical tones noted at
0900:20, followed by possible ID by woman. Signal improved very slightly
past 0900, with continuous Christian contemporary and possibly PNG church
music. The language sounded Pidgin at times, but was much too weak for
positive language identification. At 1101:38, I heard a distinctive 'Bird
of Paradise' call (national bird of PNG, I believe). An MP3 recording of
this can be heard at:
http://www.guyatkins.com/files/tenta...RL_7120kHz.mp3 0830 UTC is just
past Port Moresby sunrise, so a darkness path makes a difference on this
frequency to the West Coast USA (and as predicted by the propagation
module within ERGO). (Atkins-WA)
