\"mascot\"<\/a>SRAA contributor<\/a>, Richard Langley, recently shared the following recording of the\u00a02015 Pacific Games coverage of the National Broadcasting Corporation on the Shortwave Radio Audio Archive<\/a>. Richard notes:<\/p>\n

Live three-hour recording of the 2015 Pacific Games coverage of the National Broadcasting Corporation, the Voice of Papua New Guinea (PNG), via a transmitter in Australia on 10 July 2015 beginning at 07:01:21 UTC on a frequency of 12025 kHz. At the time of the uploading of this sound file, it is not clear if the signal originated from the former Australian Broadcasting Corporation’s lower-power facility at Brandon (as registered with the High Frequency Co-ordination Conference (HFCC) organization; 25 kW beamed 80\u00b0) or their higher-power Shepparton site with 100 kW transmitters.<\/p>\n

The recording, mostly in English with some Tok Pisin, includes commentary on the games being held in Port Moresby, music, news bulletins, public service announcements, and the NBC’s drum, flute and bird call interval signal near the top of some of the hours. Note that PNG time is 10 hours ahead of UTC.<\/p>\n

The broadcast was received on a Tecsun PL-880 receiver with its built-in telescopic whip antenna in Hanwell (just outside Fredericton), New Brunswick, Canada. Signal quality is generally good and gets better towards the end of the recording as propagation conditions improved.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Many thanks, Richard!<\/p>\n
