PAPUA NEW GUINEA 3205, R. West Sepik, 1032-1042 Mar. 29 PNG land commission
member being interviewed by female announcer in English; comparisons
between PNG and other countries land use policies. Fair signal. (Atkins-WA)

PAPUA NEW GUINEA 3335, R. East Sepik, 1143-1205* Mar. 29 with weak level of
male and female announcers in English; seemed to be discussing parlimentary
votes & government issues. Familiar PNG wild birdcall & drums fanfare at
1200, brief filler music, then "Radio East Sepik" ID, frequency, and
timecheck by male announcer at 1203. National anthem & sign-off 1205*.
Surprisingly, after about 30 sec. of carrier, Sepik(?) came back on MUCH
stronger with a canned PNG public service announcement in English and into
rock and roll music to 1211, and off abruptly. Engineers testing
transmitter? (Atkins-WA)

level. (Atkins-WA)
