Thanks, Guy for the heads up on Wantok Radio. Well I set my 7030+ timed for 0830 to 10:30 this morning, 24/5/05 and the Recall-Pro. Nothing definite, although there is a signal there. Like a 1-4-1 S-I-O. It peaked here in Victoria, BC at around 0900 at almost threshold levels. The first 30 min seemed all talk, but there was some music and mostly female announcer around 0900. Within about 15 min, the signal faded into the mud and did not reappear with any strength. Could not be sure whether they were still on at 10:00 or not. I'll keep trying. My experience with PNG over the years suggests that on some days reception can be quite good, and on others nil. Don't know what kind of morning we had today. The NVI transmitter doesn't matter to us, as it will still propagate across the globe. If you don't believe it, try any of the Australian 120m frequencies..........Walt Salmaniw, Victoria, BC. ---[Start Commercial]--------------------- World Radio TV Handbook 2005 is coming out.
