Alan Roe WOR - APPLE PODCAST TITLES PROBLEMS ``Hi Glenn; I listen to the show via Apple's Podcast platform. The
site is posting your shows with the proper show number but lists the
date for the past several shows as Dec 31 1969! Thought I was gonna
get a retro re-run, but no they are your latest's shows! Keep up the
good work! Mark Limbruner, Pittsburgh PA``, May 31 Glenn, I have confirmed an issue with the podcast. Some settings have
changed on either your or my server (maybe because of some recently
applied update). I cannot come up with a quick fix, but will work on
this in the next few days. The feed(s) may be down or erroneous for a
few days in the meantime. Keith Weston``, May 31 Mark, Tnx for letting me know. My podmaster says he`s working on
correcting it. Glenn ``Glenn, A bigger fix is needed and will take some time to script and
test. As a result, the podcast may be offline for about 7-10 days. If
I can speed this up, I will. You may want to alert your subscribers
and readers in some way. There's no need to send me error reports
until after a potential fix is in place. Best, Keith``, June 4 Keith, Tnx for taking care of this. Not that you need anything more to
fix, but checking the other/related podcasts I have linked at
http://www.worldofradio.com/audiomid.html I see that tunein.com also shows 1969 date for as yet unavailable 2298
but otherwise seems OK;
Feedburner goes to a document tree
Maybe we don`t need to keep these others?
RMRC is OK.
YouTube does not show the latest on top, but a seemingly random-order
selection mostly of 2024
Of course, I myself have not actually subscribed to any of them.
Glenn ``Yep. That seems about right. All those are fed by the same now
error-throwing master RSS feed. The master list that creates all these
other selections is at fault and will need to be entirely rebuilt.
I'll keep you posted. --
Keith Weston`` https://keithweston.com There are some other podcast options, see top of homepage
http://www.worldofradio.com
or

https://www.youtube.com/@WorldofRadio https://tunein.com/podcasts/Technology-Podcasts/Glenn-Hausers-World-of-Radio-p1178712/ ** CANADA. 28193 CW, June 4 at 2206, VVV DE VE4ARM/B ... E x 17. Same
as May 28 log, q.v. Only one other 10m beacon heard, see USA, and no
phones (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 15230, June 4 at 2213, RHC S6/S8 and JBM, presumably
Portuguese. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NEW ZEALAND. 11725 // 9700, June 4 at 0628, RNZP still on two
frequencies contrary to own sked which shows 11725 only until 0759
becomes 9700 +7425. Caught my ear with dead air, and a few more drops
to dead air as BBC relay is ending, ``rejoining RNZ`` (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR) ** OKLAHOMA. Re last report, OKC FM stations relaying TV tornado
warnngs, among the KFOR stations was 94.7, not typo 93.7, fixed: KFOR ON: 88.5, 89.7, 90.1, 90.5, 94.7, 96.1, 100.5, 101.9, 102.7. Also
on AM 1000, 1340 vs huge noise level so not all signals are even
audible. Of course, no mere radio station has its own meteorology
department. One must admit that the visual element is very useful if
not essential (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR) ** RWANDA [and non]. A while ago I made a misleading comment about the
KNK language abbreviation, for Kirundi/Kinyarwanda, as related to the
genocide of 1994, of the Tutsi by the Hutu. That was not a language
schism, as both ethnicities speak Kinyarwanda. Kirundi is the language
of neighboring Burundi, presumably related but not an issue in the
genocide, as I understand it. Would those who quoted that item please
also publish this clarification (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SPAIN. 17715, Wed June 4 at 2211, token English from SNR at S9+20
direct despite S American aim, almost as good as 15500 to NAm,
S9+20/40. Also 15520 for ME S9+10, but 15390 to Africa is JBA S9 =
noise level. Discussion of violence against women, feminist movement
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 11785, June 4 at 2210, S9 VP signal direct, so VOT is again
not on 11780. No further chex nor into UTwente (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR) ** U S A. 28225.7 CW, June 4 at 2207, VVV VVV DE WB4NCT ... AL. WGB

Sent: Wednesday, June 4, 2025 at 04:46:30 PM UTC ``Glenn, This is the last message. The two guys still at the station,
Chief Engineer Macon Dail and Shift Supervisor Rex Oliver have been
told their notice of termination will be forthcoming. Therefore the
station is officially closed and abandoned. This, I`m sorry to say, is
the end of VOA/OCB. As a former employee, it was a great experience
and a fun ride. Tonight, I will face Greenville with two fingers of
single malt and drink to its service. Then I will face DC with two
other fingers. Please print this name and all. Be well my friend and
stay in touch. 73, Glenn Swiderski, W7GS/8, Former transmitter
engineer Greenville`` Dear Engineer Glenn and WOR group, How heartbreaking it is to hear
these stories on a daily basis on the demise of VOA. Neither Kari Lake
or the President care or have a clue regarding the reckless actions
they have taken to destroy a much needed and beloved American asset. I
remember the 1960's with the Breakfast Show hosted by Pat Thoren heard
by more than 300 million people along with great news and jazz
programs. We all grieve with you. Radio New Zealand ran an hour's
program from the BBC about Voice of America's demise. I'm very worried
about what will happen to these 500 KW transmitters. If the government
wants to save money, it doesn't make sense to destroy VOA's assets but
we know this nothing less than a personal power grab. It is not about
saving taxpayers money or streamlining the budget. With heartfelt love
and prayers. Tom Roberts, PhD, DD, KF7PKG, Fellow Broadcaster`` (via
Glenn Hauser, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2297 monitoring: ``Richard Lemke,

which means that 5085 should be up as normal. George McClintock``,
1459 UT June 3 ``Glenn, The operator forgot to bring up 5085 last night. He is not
use to bringing up 5085. I have been doing it for some time in the
past. Now that both Continental transmitters are working correctly, it
is hoped that we can get back to some kind of normal. Thanks for
putting up with us. George McClintock 6-4-2025``, 1510 UT (via Glenn
