INDONESIA. 7289.93, RRI Nabire Pro 1, tuned-in 0811 till tuned-out 1005 UT, Aug 23. Better than normal reception; any

Eastern/Islamic influenced music/singing and guitar music with singing) and announcers.

0859-0910: Islamic segment; Shalawat Tarhim prayer, followed by the Maghrib (sunset) call-to-prayer.

0959-1000: RRI theme music.

My audio - https://app.box.com/s/swqtkli3syjnu37x4njt3tppeae1x2zd . Slight China QRM after 1001.

VANUATU. 7260, Radio Vanuatu, 0620-0735 UT, Aug 23. Fair-good reception. The usual format, but now with several
new "radio" spots; promo followed with "This is a contribution from VBTC to celebrate the 100th anniversary of radio
