Radio Vanuatu off the air

Hi Ron, please help,re 3325 kHz today Febr 15,
I've my doubts,
what I heard at 10.43 UT, and later stronger signal different at 11.22 UT.
Help, listen to the recording taken in remote Brisbane Australia SDR rx.
At 10.50 UT
https://voinews.id/
http://voinews.id/streaming_en/id.html
light pop mx played / heard,
but on 3325 even kHz
heard a like phone-in live coverage of Sports even game ?
in domestic vernacular, which one ?
rather PNG Bougainville program ?
much scratchy noise level broadcast then.

At 11.15-11.22 UT VoINS livestream had lady reader
in Mandarin Chinese program,
but 3325 kHz instead - light music up to S=9+10dB now increased signal
in remote Brisbane SDR rx.
And signal on 3325 kHz was increased now at S=9+10dB level.
Seemingly different INS domestic program with sport live coverage ?

remote Perseus SDR rx

5019.999 SLM  SLBC Honiara tentat.
weak and tiny S=5 -87dBm JBA at 10.15 UT.
5040even UNID stn.  VUT ?
S=5 or -86dBm JBA weak at 10.20 UT, likely exciter only ?
But at 11.30 UT on Uwe's remote Perseus SDR in eastern Thailand
5040even AIR Jeypore India program heard.
5055.002 kHz much weak carrier noted in Brisbane,
likely R 4KZ AUS program - or exciter only ? ,
at 10.25 UT only threshold signal S=4 or -99dBm.
In Brisbane propagate in 60mb 10.40 UT

90mb
2850 KRE S=9 at 10.35 UT,
3215 WWCR TOM BS roarer, perfect power to Pacific audience, hi

3325 10.40 UT live coverage sport, scratchy signal S=5  or -90dBm strength.

Hi Glenn,
Radio Vanuatu (5040) was off the air Feb 10-11-12, which was unusual for
them. A possible explanation might be
that tropical cyclone Uesi was nearby - http://bit.ly/31VP2kT (
http://bit.ly/31VP2kT ).
Feb 14 - Heard RV on 5040 with decent reception (1002-1059:49*); news in
vernacular (items about "candidates"
[Vanuatu general elections to be held March 19], "cyclone Uesi . . . weather
forecast", etc.); 1028-1044, preaching
in vernacular; 1044+, religious songs till ID and NA.
