INDONESIA[and non]. 7289.93, RRI Nabire Pro 1, tuned-in at 0827 till suddenly off at 0958* UT, Sept 25.
Playing mostly EZL songs, with a few Middle Eastern/Islamic influenced music/singing.
This coming DX season, listeners in the States who are East of my location, will probably have a chance
at some decent reception. The most easily identified feature is the Islamic segment. Today with Shalawat
Tarhim prayer (0850-0857) and the Maghrib (sunset) call-to-prayer (0857-0900). Today with a good signal,
but moderate QRN (static).
[non] 7780, Voice of Indonesia (Channel Two) via WRMI (USA), 0810-0825 UT, Sept 25 (Wednesday); TV audio
streaming; fair. Here are a few highlights:
0817: Promo for responsible Bali tourism. My audio - https://app.box.com/s/2zake3zxvoj7ubs5sho6geb54wqxg1rn .
0820+: News items - https://en.tempo.co/read/1920622/jokowi-says-ikn-airport-construction-will-conclude-in-december-2024 :
"President Joko Widodo or Jokowi said the IKN Airport’s construction in the Nusantara Capital City (IKN), East
Kalimantan, will be completed by the end of this year.
'By the end of December, the construction for both the terminal and the runway, which stretched 3,000 meters long,
will be completed, allowing wide-bodied aircraft to land at IKN,' said President Jokowi during the groundbreaking
of Teras Hutan Kota by Plataran on Wednesday, September 25, 2024, as quoted from the Presidential Secretariat. . . ,"
followed by an item about Malaysia will have flights to the new airport, to encourage travel between the two counties.
