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

 2694.9   RPDT2 Ende(presumed). Jakarta news relay was heard on very weak
          signal at 1302. After hearing of ending music "Bagimu Neg'ri",
          lost its sound, but still found the carrier.
                 (Dec 19, 1998, Juichi Yamada-Ihama DX pedition, JAPAN)

 2899.0   RPDT2 Ngada(presumed). Male talk program at 1244. Very weak
          signal. (Dec 19, 1998, Juichi Yamada-Ihama DX pedition, JAPAN)

 3158v    Unfortunately no trace of Indonesian station(See Jembatan DX
          No.63)  (Dec 19, 1998, Juichi Yamada-Ihama DX pedition, JAPAN)

 3355.5   RRI Jambi. Local pops at 1338. I confirmed //4925.0kHz which was
          much better than 3355.5kHz. 
                  (Dec 19, 1998, Juichi Yamada-Ihama DX pedition, JAPAN)

 3508.0   Unidentified. Islamic music at 2114. Talk by female at 2120 
          including time announcement of Waktu Indonesia Tengah. Local
          pops at 2129 then male talks. Poor. I could not find the station
          at 2100, so the station maybe started past 2100.
                  (Dec 19, 1998, Juichi Yamada-Ihama DX pedition, JAPAN) 

 3541.8   RPDT2 Sumba Timur(presumed). Instrumental music at 1350. then
          male talks. It is very difficult to pick up the station in Japan
          due to many hum stations operating around here, but confirmed 
          its existence in a heavy interference.
                  (Dec 19, 1998, Juichi Yamada-Ihama DX pedition, JAPAN)

 3636.9   Unidentified. Dangdut music at 2116. Heard on AM sound. Hum
          station? Between 3500kHz and 3700kHz, many Indonesian stations
          were heard around this time. Maybe these stations operates
          Ramadan season only.
                  (Dec 19, 1998, Juichi Yamada-Ihama DX pedition, JAPAN)

 3960.4   RRI Palu(presumed). Heard at 0954 with reading of Holy Koran and
          Islamic music program. Also heard at 1930 in the first Ramadan
          day. Poor.

 4078.0   RRI Pontianak. Local news at 1420, ID by male at 1428 then lagu
          hiburan. This is the sprius of 3976.1kHz. Fair to poor.
                 (Dec 19, 1998, Juichi Yamada-Ihama DX pedition, JAPAN)
