DX LOGGINGS------------------------------------------------------------
 3224.8   RRI Tanjung Pinang. Local pops by female vocals at 1120. At 1130
          tipe pips, ID by male as "Radio Republik Indonesia Tanjung Pinang
          dengan Warta Berita Daerah" then local news. ending music of local
          news "Garuda Pancasila" was heard at 1138 then followed to dangdut
          music program. Fair to poor.   (Oct 3, Juichi Yamada, JAPAN)

 4000.1   RRI Kendari(presumed). Dangdut music at 2036. Islamic religious 
          talk at 2044. At 2058 talk by female and not relayed Jakarta news
          at 2100. Padang starts around 2200, so I presumed this as Kendari.
          Fair to poor.                 (Oct 10, Juichi Yamada, JAPAN)

 4000.14  RRI Kendari. 1355-1400*, caught the end of an Indonesian pop music
          program, with younger sounding, laughing announcers.  Canned 
          promotion ID with piano background, sign-off right at 1400*.  
          Good signal, reception possible due only to the fact powerhouse 
          RRI Padang was off this frequency and was back to their nominal 
          4003.2v today.    (Oct 7, Steve Martin via Cumbre DX No.211)

 4696.5   RKIP Surabaya(presumed). 1420 Javanese traditional music by
          female singer. Poor.          (Sep 30, Juichi Yamada, JAPAN)

 4927.0   RRI Jambi. Talk and dangdut music at 1418. ID by male at 1428
          as "Inilah Radio Republik Indonesia Jambi" then dangdut music.
          //3355.3kHz which signs on around 1250. Fair.
                                        (Oct 11, Juichi Yamada, JAPAN)

 6069.8   RRI Jayapura. Popular music including pop daerah, pop Indonesia,
          and western pops at 2007. ID by male at 2025 then talk program.
          Good signal but became weak little by little with local sunrise.
                                        (Oct 10, Juichi Yamada, JAPAN)

15150.5   RRI Jakarta, Cimanggis. "Warta Berita" including "Forum Negara
          Pancasila" at 2316. Heavy jamming on 15150kHz started at 2338
          and gave up listening. Good.  (Oct 10, Juichi Yamada, JAPAN)

On October 5, the broadcasting equipment made by Simens, Austria was delivered
  to RRI and TVRI at Bukittinggi and the ceremony was held.
                                               (Juichi Yamada, JAPAN)

On October 6, students in Bundung demonstrated around streets at Bundung and
   occupied RRI Bundung about 11 oclock. At the station, with a permission
   by Drs. Tjutju Tjuarna, Kepala Stasiun, 6 representatives of students
   went on the air with a statement about 5 minutes. The statement said that
   persisting power by the government should be criticized in this ecomomic
   crisis and the genaral election should be democratic and impartial.
