Title: NBC Bougainville, 1101-1151* UTC, on Sept 3 (Sunday)

BOUGAINVILLE. 3325, NBC Bougainville, 1101-1151* UTC, Sept 3. Another Sunday with an entertaining program
by DJ in Pidgin; mix of pop, C&W and religious (Christian) songs; Lionel Richie - "Jesus Is Love," Dolly Parton -
"When You Think About Love," Don Williams - "Shot Full Of Love," etc.; many local time checks ("19 past 10"),
which would set it apart from local times given by NBC Madang (PNG) on 3260, which happens to be one hour
behind Bougainville; decent reception, as very light QRM from RRI Palangkaraya today.

BTW - Voice of Indonesia remains silent for yet another day up on 9524.95 kHz.

BOUGAINVILLE. 3325, NBC Bougainville, 1156* UTC, Sept 4.
Cut off during Dolly Parton singing "When You Think About
Love," which was the same song I heard here yesterday.
Again with only light QRM from RRI Palangkaraya.
