Hi I think the correct schedule for 12025 kHz is 2200-1000 UT (0800-2000 PNG time).
It provided a good signal all day yesterday here in New Zealand, though I was unable to check the actual sign on/off times. They just signed on at 21:59 UT this morning, July 4th (Sunday July 5th NZ). > https://www.dropbox.com/s/l6lkgvf8rwsn63w/201507042159%20NBC%20National%20Radio%2012025%20kHz.mp3?dl=0 73 Chris On 2015-07-05 07:06, Glenn Hauser via Hard-Core-DX wrote: > ** PAPUA NEW GUINEA [non]. 12025, July 4 at 0456, live coverage of a silly > ballgame, apparently American Sámoa vs PNG, fair signal, past 0600 with no > ID.

Still no 12025 at 1345 check. -- Chris Mackerell, 217 Sandy Bay-Marahau Road, Marahau R.D. 2, Motueka 7197, New Zealand Tel: +64 (3) 527-8540 Fax: +64 (4) 555-0102 Email: [email protected] Skype: owdjim _ Hard-Core-DX mailing list [email protected] http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/hard-core-dx http://www.hard-core-dx.com/ _______________________________________________ THE INFORMATION IN THIS ARTICLE IS FREE.
