Papua New Guinea 4890
 

Listening to Papua New Guinea on 4890, they are counting down their
final hour of 2003. New Years hits there at 1400.

Decent signal here at the moment, hope propagation holds up.

Still in here, I think they'll hold up to 1400.

Nice catch Steve. Still copyable here with music at 1350 UTC. Thanks for the
heads-up.

What other frequencies do they use? I'm interested in the Tok Pisin
language of PNG but have never heard it spoken.

Your best bet is to peruse DXLD, the stations the past few years have been
on and off at times due to poor maintainence and/or budgetary problems.

At one time not so long ago, PNG had quite a few stations on, almost all
of them in the tropical bands.

This from DXLD 4-002, January 4, 2004:

** PAPUA NEW GUINEA. On Dec 11, I was able to hear the following
stations from 0930 onwards: 3205, 3220, 3235, 3245 (!), 3260, 3275,
3290 (not regular), 3315 (not regular), 3325, 3355, 3365, 3375 and
4890.

9675, NBC, Port Moresby, 0308 (fade in)-0410, Dec 11, English, ``NBC
News``, weather forecast, ID: ``.. on Karai National Radio ... of the
Voice of Papua new Guinea... at 20 o`clock the news in brief``. At
best 34543 (Roland Schulze, Mangaldan, Philippines, DSWCI DX Window
Dec 31 via DXLD)**

The 90 meter band frqs will get you a taste of Tok Pisin (Pidgin)!
Lots of stations to be heard from PNG, when they are up and the band is
open.

Generally good for QSL's too.
