Hi Thomas
Regarding your recent post on June 5: https://swling.com/blog/2025/06/twr-guam-to-end-broadcasting/
KTWR, Trans World Radio has recently announced they will be ending their shortwave broadcasts from Agana, Guam by October 31, 2025. However, unlike some stations that have vanished somewhat abruptly, there are still a few months remaining to log this station before they are gone from the airwaves forever. As well, with the help of various SDR’s located around the globe, this task should not be too difficult. The attached recording was made this past weekend on June 8, 2025, through the use of a Kiwi SDR located in northern Thailand on a frequency of 11965 kHz. At first, there is just background noise, but then, you will hear their transmitter come onto the air and power up for a few seconds. Their interval signal is played a number of times followed by sign on in English at 1100 hours UTC.

Israel launched a massive attack against Iran, Radio Mitre, Argentina, 790 kHz AM
Part of the Spanish-language news bulletin from Radio Mitre (Argentina) on the Israeli attack on Iran. Listened in Porto Alegre, Brazil, on an Xhdata D-808 receiver.
“We reiterate, Israel launched a massive attack on Iran. The Israeli Ministry of Defense announced this, anticipating a strong retaliation with missiles and drones at various points across the country. Israel declared a state of emergency and warned its entire population not to leave their homes and stay close to shelters. As sirens blared across the country, Israeli officials and military personnel, led by Benjamin Netanyahu, reported that the attack targeted Iran’s nuclear facilities and would last for several days. The prime minister convened his security cabinet amid the operation dubbed “Nation of Lions.” Before the attack, a United Nations report had warned for the first time in 20 years that Iran had failed to comply with its nuclear obligations. Earlier, US President Donald Trump had called on Israel not to attack Iran because Washington was close to reaching an agreement on Tehran’s nuclear program. This is, we reiterate, an unprecedented escalation of attacks on the Iranian capital, following the Tehran government’s refusal to abandon its nuclear plan.”
