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

 2694.95 RPDT2 Ende. 1252-1311 with Indo-pops, SCI 1259, and into 
         Jakarta nx relay. Faint, but improving slightly past 1300. 
         Rayuan Pulau Kelapa anthem 1306; possible lcl ID 1308. 
                       (Aug 17, Guy Atkins-U.S.A. via Cumbre DX NO.205)

 3231.8  RRI Bukittinggi. Mention of Bukittinggi at 1538. Local 
         traditional play at 1542. SCI at 1558. Jakarta news relay at
         1600. ID by male at 1605 as "...bersama kami Programa Satu,
         Radio Republik Indonesia Bukittinggi" then local traditional
         play again. Not relayed Jakarta news at 1700 and still heard
         the program after 1700. Maybe all night program. Poor.
                                        (Aug 29, Juichi Yamada, JAPAN)

 3905.0  RRI Banda Aceh. Reactivated, hrd today at 1232 w regional news
         and clear ID at 1237, not hrd just prior to 1200 and off at 
         re-check at 1320. However, not on the air at all the next
         day Aug 26 (Aug 25, Gerhard Werdin-Indonesia via BC-DX No.381)

 4000.0  RRI Padang. English pops at 1620. IS at 1629 then ID as "Radio
         Republik Indonesia Padang dengan Ikhtisar Berita Daerah" and
         followed to local news. Reading of Holy Koran at 1634. Local 
         pops at 1649. At 1654 Love Ambon then signed off. Poor.
                                        (Aug 29, Juichi Yamada, JAPAN)

 5041.0  RRI Pekanbaru. Heard at 1400. Talk by male and sometimes heard
         march and canned ID as "Radio Republik Indonesia". Probably due 
         to avoid the intereference from AIR-Jeypore on 5040kHz, the 
         station moved to this frequency. But returned to usual 5040kHz 
         on the next day.               (Aug 29, Juichi Yamada, JAPAN)

 9552.6  RRI Ujung Pandang. At 0810 "Siaran Terpadu" from RRI Jakarata 
         which was produced by RRI Ternate. ID by male at 0830 as "Radio
         Republik Indonesia Nusantara Empat Ujung Pandang" then local 
         music. Suddenly signed off at 0848.

FOLLOW UP------------------------------------------------------------

I apologize for my type mistake in the last issue.
  RRI Jambi on 3344.3kHz is mistaken for the frequency. The correct
  frequency is 3355.3kHz.                     (Juichi Yamada, JAPAN)
