Hi Thomas<\/p>\n

Regarding your recent post on June 5: https:\/\/swling.com\/blog\/2025\/06\/twr-guam-to-end-broadcasting\/<\/a><\/p>\n

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\u2019s 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.<\/p>\nhttps:\/\/swling.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/KTWR-Agana-Guam-ve3hls.proxy_.kiwisdr.com_2025-06-08T10_58_21Z_11965.00_am.mp3<\/a><\/audio>\n
