Many thanks to SWLing Post<\/em> contributor, Dan Robinson, who shares the following notes about the final transmission of Radio Transmundial. [Dan made this recording yesterday, but Internet woes here at SWLing Post<\/em> HQ prevented me from posting this until now.]<\/p>\n

Dan writes:<\/p>\n

FYI — I am monitoring Radio Transmundial via [the PY2BS KiwiSDR in] Brazil. They are in the midst of a final discussion in Portuguese between two\u00a0announcers, mentioning advances\/changes in technology, Internet, etc. that are forcing the station off the air. Many mentions of shortwave.<\/p>\n

See attachments…..audio files are of studio discussion in Portuguese about their decision to end SW….then another file going right up until 1900 UTC or thereabouts when they went off.<\/p>\n

At about the 9:36 mark in the 1st audio file announcer introduces a technical person (sounded like someone from TWR, but also mentioned was “director of communications”) to begin a discussion about their decision to end shortwave — that discussion lasts until about the 34:30 mark when they go into full IDs.<\/p><\/blockquote>\nhttps:\/\/archive.org\/download\/py1eme.homeip.net_2018-08-08T18_18_28Z_11735.00_amn\/py1eme.homeip.net_2018-08-08T17_36_25Z_11735.00_am.mp3<\/a><\/audio>\n

Second audio file you can hear Zanzibar gradually fading up and dominating the frequency, then in the clear after Transmundial goes off 11,735.<\/p><\/blockquote>\nhttps:\/\/archive.org\/download\/py1eme.homeip.net_2018-08-08T18_18_28Z_11735.00_amn\/py1eme.homeip.net_2018-08-08T18_18_28Z_11735.00_amn.mp3<\/a><\/audio>\n

Would be very interesting to translate this conversation for a post on SWLing.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Perhaps SWLing Post<\/em> readers with a knowledge of\u00a0Portuguese could help us with any interesting details from this conversation? Please comment!<\/del>\u00a0UPDATE:<\/strong> Many thanks to SWLing Post<\/em> contributor, Fabiano Barufaldi, who has volunteered\u00a0 to help translate some of the key points from this broadcast!<\/p>\n

Dan, thanks for grabbing a recording of this final Transmundial broadcast. When my Internet connection is fully functioning again, I will add these recordings to the Shortwave Radio Audio Archive<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
