Many thanks!


I took part in Irozaki DX Pedition at Shizuoka Prefecture from April 11
to 12. The location was very good. Many stations which is difficult to pick
up at home could be heard. Compared with Kujukuri DX Pedition from March 7
to 9, the condition and location was better. I thank to all participants
for Irozaki DX Pedition!                                 (Juichi Yamada)

All times in UTC.

DX LOGGINGS----------------------------------------------------------------

  909.0  RRI Sorong. Jakarta news relay at 1501. Local pops at 1512. ID by
         female at 1515 as "Inilah Radio Republik Indonesia Stasiun Sorong"
         then talk by male. Fair. Also RRI Jakarta on 999kHz was heard on
         the same day.                     (Apr 11, Juichi Yamada, JAPAN)

 2899.0  RPDT2 Ngada(presumed). Jakarta news relay until 1215, then female
         talk. At 1219 local pops. Poor.   (Apr 11, Juichi Yamada, JAPAN)

 3264.6  RRI Gorontalo. Signed on at 2054 then IS. Opening music at 2057
         which is same as opening music of RRI Jakarta Programa Nasional

 3355.3  RRI Jambi. 1420-1445(faded out), surprised to find this here, 
         with rustic folk-type local music. Clear site ID at 1428, into 
         another program of typical Indonesian pop music. Been hearing 
         this regularily all week. I presume this is an alternate 
         frequency to 4925 or 4927, which have both been inactive this 
         week.                (Mar 28, Steve Martin via Cumbre DX No.184)

 3355.3  Unidentified. SCI was heard at 1459. Very poor. 
                                           (Apr 11, Juichi Yamada, JAPAN)

         at 1309, then talk by female. Still heard at 1401 but already
         gone out at 1406. Poor. RRI Medan? 4766kHz was not heard. 
                                           (Apr 11, Juichi Yamada, JAPAN)

 3395.1  RRI Tanjungkarang(presumed). All night wayang kulit program at
         2040. Jakarta news relay was not heard at 2100. The station was
         already not heard at 2112. Poor.  (Apr 11, Juichi Yamada, JAPAN)

 3904.8  RRI Banda Aceh(presumed). Indonesian pop music and male talk at
         1413. Signed off at 1457. RRI Merauke on 3905.0kHz was finished

 3976.0  RRI Pontianak. Although other station relayed Jakarta news, the
         station broadcasted Rayuan Pulau Kelapa melody from own studio
         at 1302(until 1307). Anmt of not relaying Jakarta news and ID
         at 1308 as "Inilah Radio Republik Indonesia Pontianak, Programa
         Regional", then silence. At 1311 local news in local language.
         Fair.                             (Apr 16, Juichi Yamada, JAPAN)

 4075.9  RRI Pontianak(sprious of 3976kHz). Local pops program at 1426.
         Apparently //3976.0kHz. Poor. At last I confirmed the station 
         was not RPDT2 Blitar. (See Jembatan DX No.44)
                                           (Apr 11, Juichi Yamada, JAPAN)

 4753.3  RRI Ujung Pandang. "Siaran Pendidikan" at 1345. English pops at
         1251. IS and time pips at 1400 then local news as "Warta Berita
         Antar Kabupaten dan Kotamadya Sulawesi Selatan". Fair.
                                           (Apr 8, Juichi Yamada, JAPAN)

 4766    RRI Medan. 1420-1444(Signed off), reactivated after a long 
         absence, with an excellent signal. Smooth Island-type music 
         called kroncong, with announcements at 1429.  Local interval
         signal, with news to follow. News ended with a local anthem, 
         followed by an ID "Radio Republik Indonesia Stasiun Medan."  
         Broadcast ended at 1444* after the Koran.  Always a pleasure to 
         see another Indonesian station has reactivated!  (I presume
         this was one day only reactivation. Although I check on 4766kHz, 
         the station can not be found.-ed)
                               (Apr 9, Steve Martin via Cumbre DX No.185)

 4874.6  RRI Sorong. Local news was heard at 1105. Usually Jakarta news 
         entotled "Aneka Berita" was heard at this time. I do not know
         wheather this is the change of schedule or irregular schedule. 
         ID was heard at 1112 as "Radio Republik Indonesia Sorong,
         Programa Satu" then local pops. Fair.
