So - if you are listening to a station and trying to QSL them, and
they have an unscheduled shutdown, and that shutdown comprises the
bulk of the listening period - can that detail bag you a QSL? I ask
because this morning (late night local time here), R. East New Britain
(PNG) 3,385 kHz went completely OTA for a long period of time from
0808 until nearly 45 minutes later when it just as quickly came back
up. That would be a VERY easy detail to report... ?

R. Milne Bay 3,365 kHz, meanwhile, was on that entire time with
country music and lots of discussion of stuff by male program hosts.

I always sent a detailed reception report, and most times it included a report
of the country music they played. They love country music in PNG.

Both stations QSL'd here many years ago.

20+ PNG stations QSL'd.
