[A-DX] 3325 kHz PNG?

[Wolfgang Bueschel]

zwei Sender auf 3325.0

Die Wenigsten haben bisher das mufflige Signal aus Bougainville gehört.
Der Platzhirsch ist der Indonesier auf der gleichen Frequenz mit meist
starkem Signal. Die unterscheiden sich noch nicht mal mit einem Hertz 
Differenz.

Ob man das Reaktivierung nennen kann ?
Das ist eher Wiederauferstehung aus PNG an einem ganz anderen Standort,
siehe Kopie von Ian und Ron - weiter unten.

Interessant für mich war die Schilderung der kolonialen Geschichte mit der
nachfolgenden Bodenschatzausbeutung, eigentlich müsste Bougainville zu den
Solomonen gehören. Die Zeitzone PNG UT+10hrs, ist dort wohl auch +11hrs...

PAPUA NEW GUINEA   3325 / 6020 kHz. Site of NBC Bougainville transmitter -
Kubu on Buka Island.

The new SW transmitter is located at Kubu on Buka Island, about 80 miles
(129 km) away from the site of the former transmitter at Kieta. Believe
Kieta was devastated by the 1990 civil uprising and that few people reside
there now.

Here is a recent story (Jan 9).

"The NBC Radio Bougainville's Manager's Official Residence at the
Transmitter site in Kubu on Buka Island was burnt to ashes just after midday
today.

Manageress, CHRISTINE TALEI a veteran Broadcaster is the current boss of the
station and resides in this house.

The cause of the fire is not known at this stage, but Technicians were
working on the new Shortwave Transmitter for the Station when the fire was
noticed.

The compound also shares houses with the Station Technician and the
shortwave Transmitter plus the satellite link that sends program signals for
Radio Bougainville and New Dawn FM to Central and South Bougainville.

According to the Station Technicians equipments were switched off but were
switched on again after the fire died out.

Yesterday, New Dawn FM ran a story of the heat of the sun as unbearable in
the last two days in and around Buka town."

Hallo, kann mal jemand mit auf 3325 kHz reinhören. Jetzt um 19:05 UTC
einigermassen starkes Signal, um Sprache m/w und Musik zu unterscheiden.
Ist das der reaktivierte Sender NBC Bougainville?
