Title: 3385 NBC East New Britain (PNG) 1213-1231* utc 10/5/2014

This one was hanging around later than usual this morning, well after my local sunrise.  English language with an American accented preacher hawking "The book of revelation, unveiled" with 1-800 toll free number.  The program was clearly aimed towards an American audience, but seems odd a PNG station would be airing something like this.  Are they selling air-time?  Abruptly off mid-program at 1231 UTC.  Poor but audible 30 minutes after my local sunrise, and strong via Australian remote Perseus.

Missionaries love New Guinea, but this one sounds like they may have been buying time to reach Australia and NZ?

NBC on 3385 does have an after-sunrise peak. It lasts about 20 minutes here, unless I'm using a loop, which usually gives me 10-15 extra minutes.

I don't know if Bangla Betar still uses 4880, but when East New Britain has a good signal, it's always worth a try.
