SINGAPORE 6120 Radio Singapore Int, 1050-1101, noted a male and female<br />

in Malay comments during the period. Everyone seemed happy and jolly<br />

during the period as if they were having a party. Signal wasn't that good<br />

however. Noted a // broadcast on 7235 KHz which faded out before 1100<br />

while 6120 was poor to fair.<br />

6080 Radio Singapore International (pres),1108-1130, Caught a female in<br />

Eng language comments during the period. Signal was always at poor or<br />

worst level. Consequently,it made hearing details difficult. At 1121 music<br />

was presented. Didn't hear the joy in this transmission that was noted in<br />

the 6120 transmission above.<br />

(Chuck Bolland-FL-USA, hcdx July 31)<br />

Tuned in at 13:50 to catch the last few minutes of RSI. Time check for<br />

9:55 at 13:55 and into the final news in English. Reception not quite as<br />

good as I've previously heard during the last few weeks, but perfectly<br />

readable. Weak cochannel with music noted at 13:57. // 6150 just audible<br />

un<strong>der</strong> much stronger cochannel. Ended at 13:58:20. End of transmission at<br />

13:58:30 with sign-off (nothing really special, except announcing that the<br />

SW will end as of tomorrow.....a bit disappointing. I was hoping to hear<br />

something more substantial). IS for RA came on at 13:59:40 or so blocking<br />

the last few seconds of RSI. Goodbye to another SW broadcaster :-(<br />

(Walt Salmaniw-<strong>BC</strong>-CAN, <strong>DX</strong>plorer July 31)<br />

Singapore's regional radio station, Radio Singapore International (RSI),<br />

ceased broadcasts on Thursday, ending its 15-year run.<br />

At a closing ceremony on Thursday, RSI's parent company MediaCorp CEO<br />

Lucas Chow presented momentos to transmitting station staff and together<br />

they bid farewell to an era of shortwave broadcasting in Singapore,<br />

according to local TV Channel NewsAsia.<br />

The regional shortwave radio service was set up in 1994 and broadcasted in<br />

English, Mandarin, Malay and Bahasa Indonesia. It had a listenership base<br />

of half a million listeners around Southeast Asia, including East and West<br />

Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, Cambodia and Vietnam.<br />

MediaCorp announced the decision nearly two months ago, saying it was<br />

because the effectiveness of a shortwave radio service had diminished over<br />

time, with changing technology and media consumption habits.<br />

It then said while FM radio broadcast remains strong, audiences are<br />

turning to other channels such as the web and television International<br />

feed for their news.<br />
