Great ID there Guy - thanks for that info.
I am puzzled though about the power from this TX.
One source says it is a 1 Kw station, the other 100 Kw.
Do you have reliable info as to exactly what the power output is??

PAPUA NEW GUINEA 7120, 0825-1030, Wantok Radio Light, Port Moresby May 25
First noted fading up above the noise prior to 0830, with contemporary
Christian music alternating with talks or devotionals. The signal was
still
extremely low until past 0930, when it strengthened enough to make out an
ID
by a male announcer exactly at 0959:38: 'This is Wantok Radio Light,
broadcasting to Papua New Guinea on... meterband(?)...'. It took a number
of
replays of my recording to be certain of the ID, but it is definitely
there.
At 1000 I heard introductory music and mention of 'Welcome to Focus on the
Family...with author and... Dr. James Dobson' at the start of this popular
Christian program. It also fits the broadcast schedule at
http://www.wantokradio.net which shows Focus on the Family at 7-7:30pm
local
Port Moresby time. Very pleased with this definite log of this new PNG
outlet! I also received an e-mail from Dave Olson, engineer at the
station,
who said that the 'Bird of Paradise' call I heard at 1101 on 5/23 is
actually a warbling siren at the beginning of their Monday evening program
'Community Policing'. (Atkins-WA)
