FROM EDITOR:
I went to DX pedition at Kujukuri, Chiba on March 7-9. My following
loggings were heard here. Though I expected to pick up rare heard
station in Indonesia, the DX condition was not so good. But I picked
up 2 AM Indonesian stations. It is very difficult to hear them in 
Japan, so I am very happy. Loggings below reported by me are usually 
difficult to pick up in Japan. If I have a chance, I will try to
catch rare heard stations in the next pedition.

        Poor. David Foster says this station as sprious of RRI Pontianak.
        When I picked up the station on Nov 2, 1997, the sign off time was
        1459. If the station I picked up in Nov was RRI Pontianak, The sign
        off time should be 1610. But the transmitter trouble might be 
        happened on this day, or the station might finished irregularly. 
        We need to investigate on this frequency.

DX NEWS---------------------------------------------------------------------
RRI Sorong on 4874.6kHz broadcasts English program at 1130 every Sunday.
   The station on 4874.6kHz signs off at 1400 and signs on at 2000. The 
   local early morning broadcast on 4874.6kHz was inactive for a long 
   time. Thanks information for                   (Juichi Yamada, JAPAN)

4074/6v, it's RRI-Pontianak, not RPDT2 Blitar.  While I haven't checked it 
   recently, I'm sure it's the spurious radiation of RRI-Pontianak here, 
   as hrd for well over 12 mos.  On Jan 5, I hrd it on 4076.5, which was
   much easier to hear than the 100.5 kHz spur on the other side of 3976 at
   3875.5.  Goes through to 1605v*. (David Foster via Numero Uno No.1467)

When I checked at Kujukuri DX pedition at Chiba, I found that RRI Tanjung
   Pinaning on 3224.8kHz, RRI Mataram on 3223kHz  and RRI Bukittinggi on 
   3231.8kHz was apparently inactive.            (Juichi Yamada, JAPAN)
