1000. Interview with male subsequently (?Marcel) in English. Although
stronger, more atmospheric noise. Best heard with my K9AY. No sign so far
This week, the emphasis was on new Catholic Radio Network from Vanimo,
PNG. Best reception this morning by far. Good DX and please spend a

I can hear weak audio, with a good carrier level right now (0418 22
