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)


Seems to be audible here with Christian music and did catch a mention of Papua
New Guinea during the half hour prior to 1100. I'll have to catch them earlier
rather than my regular routine of listening to the guys on 3849-50.
