PAPUA NEW GUINEA
3275, NBC Southern Highlands continues to have better than
normal reception on March 1. They do not seem to carry any
of the news segments that the other PNG stations do; play
a lot of music, but also provides a good number of spots for local
speeches in vernacular; 1228 speech about the government,
importance of education and mentions "Southern Highlands"
(which sounds funny to me, as it's almost like "Southern Islands").

3290, NBC Central. 1301-1305, March 1. In English; ends with "and
that has been the News Roundup for tonight"; news only // 3365.

Radio Gadona relay at 1314 with program of mostly nice island
songs; very few IDs, but at 1337 caught "Radio Gadona … radio
station for PNG, 95.5 FM", so they do in fact still carry this relay;
no sign off announcement; cut off the island music and suddenly
at 1402 started National Anthem; 1403*.

3365 NBC Milne Bay better reception on March 1. 1301-1305; in
English; ends with "and that has been the News Roundup for
tonight"; news only // 3290. Not // 3275.

3385, NBC East New Britain, 1202, March 1. News in English;
1207 ends with "N-B-C ..?.., bringing you local and international
news, and current events happening around you"; this news only
was // 3290 and 3365.

"Good night. Robin … in time for news from N-B-C East New
Britain" in Tok Pisin with news and sports; 1217 promo for
"N-B-C East New Britain .. super music request .. half past
nine to eleven o'clock … Thursday night … 98 FM, 104.3 FM,
3.385 MHz shortwave"; DJ with "special dedications" and pop
songs; fair to almost good. There is no variation in their sign
off time; is still consistently 1225*.
