UnID Indonesian? 4120 AM 1735 UTC 03 JUL 2025

Poor/fair but with good audio into Bogor (west of Jakarta) SDR, not heard anywhere else, Indonesian pop music (managed to ID one, Suratan by Siska Amanda), male announcer, nothing heard on possible MW fundamentals. Next song by Ochi Alvira, titled Sepanjang Jalan Kenangan. At least I'm learning a lot about Indonesian pop music.

Big into SWDX late 70s through early 90s, then forgot about it and when I returned via SDRs it wasn't at all what I remembered, but I'll deal with it. Grumble, grumble. All SDRs acknowledged, nothing is from my own radio.

Indonesian pirates use AM in the 4050-4200 kHz range. Most have QSOs with 4100 seemingly the main calling frequency, and lots of them play music like this.

Songs are identified with Shazam if needed. I usually use KiwiSDR receivers. Reception from my QTH is using a Hermes Lite 2 with a 40 meter band Inverted V at 40 feet.

Cool, I didn't know there were Indonesian pirates! That would explain the announcer, who sounded like a numbers station but maybe he was saying Test One Two Three in Indonesian. I see that you've written the book on the subject, or at least a very comprehensive HFU post: https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php?topic=102090.0
