Wantok Radio Light - ID'd on West Coast USA
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'.
