 4874.5  RRI Sorong. Local news at 1103. ID by female at 1107 as
         "R.R.I.Sorong...Programa Satu" then Karaoke music program.
         This program was consisted of Indonesian pops sung by 
         listeners by telephone. Very enjoyable. This is the first
         time for me to listen to the program style like this.
         "R.R.I.Sorong" ID again at 1158 and SCI. The signal 
         finished part of Jakarta news at 1207. Fair.
         (May 23, 1999, Juichi Yamada, JAPAN)
 4925.0  RRI Jambi. Local pops at 1552. ID at 1559 as "Radio
         Republik Indonesia Jambi" and SCI. Jakarta news relay at 
         1600. Usually switches its frequency to 4927kHz at 1400,
         but still heard 4925kHz at this time today only. //3355kHz
         on weak signal with low moduration. Fair.
         (May 22, 1999, Juichi Yamada, JAPAN)
 4931    RRI Surakarta 1140-1155 with non-stop male vocals (Indo
         pop). This one fades badly after 1200. (May 2 is Sunday.
         In my opinion, the station usually operates on Saturday
         only. Recently the station was inactive even Saturday.
         In adition this, David Foster presumed that the 
         transmitter has finally met its maker.-ed)
