PAPUA NEW GUINEA 5960 R. Fly 1310 "Oh Holy Night" followed by couple more Pop songs. Not a bad signal for this time of the morning. Still decent at 1320. And still getting some music by 1350, but another weaker signal was on 5960.12 causing a bit of QRM. A little more audible at 1352 w/soft mx and poss. short canned anmnt, then back to mx. Some simple piano mx at 1354. Just strains of mx at 1402. Would have been much more audible at this time from a quiet location. (18 Dec.)
PALAU 9930 T8WH 1359 end of MSC Worldwide pgm, then call ID w/report request w/South Bend addr. Then off the air. Humongous signal. Could swear I hear the call sign as THW8. (18 Dec.)
OMAN 15140 R. Sultanate of Oman Wasn't on during frequent checks to 1400, but did find it at 1405 w/usual Pop mx pgm. 1408 Pop mx countdown/2011 events in Oman pgm promo "...the biggest stories that happened in Oman...". Back to Rap mx. Went off the air at 1413:15. Signal back up at 1418:02 but weakly and then went off again for about 10 seconds before coming back on again and suddenly increasing to full power at 1418:45. Mx returned at 1422:27. 1429 jingle promo, quick Big Ben chimes, ID by W "This is Radio Sultanate of Oman, the time is ??". Fanfare, then nx by W. Getting some lcl noise by the time the nx ended at 1440. Brief anthem, filler mx, simple ID by M, then back to Dance mx. 1445-1446 minute of deadair. 1446 M w/"Dear listeners, now its time for Call to Prayer" w/ment of Muscat and ID, then more deadair, and back to Pop mx. Good signal w/western-flavored pgming. (18 Dec.)

Finally off the phone at 0928 and into lively ZY Pops. 0932 canned morning greeting "Bon dia Roraima", and more mx to 0934. R. Roraima ID amid chatter w/sev. people in the studio.

M and W anncrs later at 1206. 1212 Mx definitely sounding like west India or Pakistan. 1213- tlk by M anncr. Horrible 5025 Rebelde slop QRM. Tried to reduce the lower side but still couldn't make it any more readable. A little more clear at 1229 w/soft vcl mx. M anncr again at 1230 but still not good enough. Slop returned then and fading as well. (23 Dec.)
