Post by: Ron - Calif. on February 16, 2024, 2223 UTC

INDONESIA. 3325, Voice of Indonesia (Channel One) from Palangkaraya, on Feb 16. Extremely rare day with readable audio.
Reception was before my local sunrise (1454 UT). I confess I still very much miss the former local Pro 1 RRI Palangkaraya
programming that was heard here before VOI replaced it back in June, 2018. Some highlights from today:

1305-1315: News in English, along with "International News" about Japan's economy declining into recession.

1315-1318: The usual post-news patriotic song “Bagimu Negeri.”

1318-1321: "Today in History" (this date 1946, the first UN Security Council veto was made by the Soviet Union and in 1971, UN
voted on the One-China policy; this date 1983, major bushfires in Australia; this date 2005, Kyoto climate treaty took effect).

1331: "Indonesian Wonders"; 1344: "Music Corner."

1401-1415: News in Bahasa Indonesia; 1415-1418: The usual post-news patriotic song “Bagimu Negeri.”

My audio of 1415 “Bagimu Negeri” and announcer mentioning "Jakarta EXPO" -

MYANMAR. 5985, Myanmar Radio, 1518+ UT, Feb 16 (Friday). Today with no signal from Turkey (VOT); this is the second,
consecutive Friday that Myanmar has had no English (1530+); audio quality seemed to indicate coverage from some event;
also played music, till tuned-out at 1540. Is this their usual schedule now with no English on Friday? My local sunrise was
at 1454 UT.
