Title: Soloman Islands 9545 0630-0730 25 January 2014
Post by: rdla4 on January 25, 2014, 1511 UTC

The first time I have been able to hear actual audio from SIBC, early this morning on an SDR recording. Several pieces of music from 0630 to 0700 (Including "the Boss") ID at 0700, into English news at 0700. Back into music around 0720. Maybe a commercial  at 0721.

The signal improved throughout this period, with nobody nearby, no slop or QRM. Not strong enough to get everything, but good enough for an ID. S2-S3 sometimes up to S5

Here is still relatively good reception in Ukraine some days. SINPOs are usually up to 45433 in a case of absence of strong stations on adjacent frequencies.

Two web links to the new mp3 clips for yesterday's reception with a frequencies announcement and clear IDs: "SIBC - Radio Happy Isles - The Voice of The Nation":
