INDONESIA - The song played by RRI Jakarta at the end of the news relay,
it's name is "Bagimu Negeri" which roughly translates into "For Your
Country". It's one of the many national songs of Indonesia, like The
National Anthem "Indonesia Raya", the Pancasila-Song, Rayuan Pulau
Kelapa and others. If you want to listen to them, there is a website
complete with midi-files and texts (in Indonesian):
<http://www.geocities.com/SoHo/1823> or, alternatively
<http://welcome.to/SongsIndonesia>. There are also many folk songs and
pop songs available, together with links to other sites with Indonesian
music. (Gerhard Werdin-Indonesia via DX Window No.142)

PALESTINE -The following  information comes  from  The Daily  DX (A ham
DX electronic publication--HAN):  "John Kanode, N4MM, reports that
Palestine will be granted an international dialing code and a call 
sign  prefix block  per  the  recent  ITU  Plenipotentiary Conference
that was held in Minnesota. Kanode went on to say 'When  Palestine gets
its permanent ITU call sign  block it will be  eligible for addition  to
the ARRL DXCC  List.' No  mention of  when Palestine  would be  added
to  the official ITU list." ("425 DX News" via Nigro-Uruguay, Dec 1)

SOUTH AFRICA - Trans World Radio Africa introduced a new 30-min daily
service in Kanuri (for Nigeria) on 25 Oct, using the Meyerton relay,
from 1903-1933. On Jan 10, 1999, plans to commence new services in Hausa
(1833-1838) and Yoruba (1848-1903), also for Nigeria, via Meyerton. The
Hausa and Yoruba broadcasts are translations and adaptations of the
popular "Thru the Bible" programs. (EDXP 103)

SWITZERLAND - [non]. SRI English at 1400 heard on surprising new
frequency 21645, Sun Nov 29, and not heard on listed Sottens 15185 (Joe
Hanlon, PA) But this must have been a mistaken feed input at French
Guiana, where RFI in Spanish is normally heard (Hauser / GH SHORTWAVE/DX
