(shortwave from the VOA) is over. All PSC are fired. A manager is on
his way to Kuwait to oversee the shutdown of that station and as I
understand it de-commissioning. There will be some folks left to
oversee the shutdown of Greenville. What has happened is, in Trump`s
big, beautiful bill, all funding for the USAGM has been removed. No
money, no shortwave or anything for that matter. I think I`m gonna
drink today. Glenn W7GS/8 (ex-Greenville)(via Glenn Hauser, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2296 monitoring: confirmed Tuesday

(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 9917.1 & 9942.9, May 28 at 2216, parasitic spurs out of 9930
WTWW which is S9+40/50, but no serious splatter. Strange that the
plus/minus 12.9 kHz are sometimes there, sometimes not; different
tunings or different transmitters? Heard before out of 5085 but not
5920, or 9475? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 1660, May 28 at 0622 UT tuneby, immediately hear credit to
North Dakota Broadcasters Association, back to Dan Patrick show. So it

problem. - - - - - Appreciate the quick reply from Pryce Aptenbel:
"Dear Ron, Thank you for your message and for monitoring our
broadcast. Apologies for the disruption — there was a power cut, which
likely caused the issue you observed. I’m currently on my way to
restart the transmitter and get us back on the air as soon as
possible. We appreciate your continued support and patience. Best
regards" -- 0730 UT - Radio Vanuatu still silent on 9960. Ron,
