RRI Dili used to be on 3306, but not sure if they are still active or not.

RRI Dili also was variable to 3304.8 or so, but they haven't been heard for
years. I think the last logs I saw of them were in the mid-nineties.

The next closest (geographically) active SW broadcaster is RSPK Ngada on
2899 kHz. However, at 500 watts they are a difficult DX catch even on the
West Coast USA. I've logged Ngada at poor levels at home, but fair-to-good
at coastal DXpeditions.

I have two QSL's for Dili from 1990. One is my own prepared card, and the other
is their own card.

I'd like to see renewed activity from E. Timor, but somehow I doubt that it will
be an RRI station.

Perhaps a clandestine operating from there will crop up, and that may be the
renewed activity you're referring to. I have a nice recording of the clannie
Radio Free Bougainville, which is perhaps my best catch from that region
(Indo/PNG). Another good one was RPDT Buol Toli Toli when it was being heard
for a few months in 1993(?).

Well, no, I was thinking more along the lines of a legitimate station since East
Timor is independent of Indonesia these days.
