DX LOGGINGS------------------------------------------------------------
 3382.1   Unidentified. 1510-1530+, Jakarta news in progress, over at 1515. 
          No local announcements heard at the end of the news, went straight
          to Indopops. Faded-out by 1530. Poor to fair signal, with usb 
          horribly distorted. Thought this might be RRI Kupang off-frequency,
          but they were active on listed 3385kHz. 
          (Feb 2, 1999, Steve Martin-U.S.A. via Cumbre DX No.228)

          of RRI Jakarta "Warta Berita". No announcements at all, dangdut 
          music and popular music were given. Best in LSB.
