VANUATU. 7259.96, R. Vanuatu. April 2 (Sunday), with the
second day of superior reception; found it hard to tune away,

"Tomorrow's World," talking about witchcraft, Halloween, the
occult, video games and Harry Potter.
1230-1300: Religious program in vernacular & religious music/
singing; nice organ music.
1300-1320: "Radio Vanuatu" ID; drums & blowing of conch shell;
news in vernacular ("Vanuatu's foreign policy priorities"; cultural
exchange between Vanuatu & New Caledonia; Solomon Islands
government minister; etc.).

1332: Drums & blowing of conch shell.
1440-1453 & 1521-1528: EZL songs; strange they played several xmas
songs ("White Christmas," etc.). Surprised to be able to still hear them
this late.
