Update: SWL'ers confirm the trio of Radio Marti shortwave frequencies now off air. VOA transmissions in Portuguese and French to Africa from the USAGM Greenville (NC) site also gone. Botswana relay in recent hours still on the air with outdated news and music fill.

@w7voa On top of the rest of the damage these actions are causing, let alone the heartache and stress for all of you at VOA, I’m hope that this isn’t also signaling the end of viable shortwave.

@w7voa What a tragedy. A sad day for the service whose motto was, "tell the truth and let the world decide."

We have met the enemy and he is us.

I'm writing to my elected representatives, for all the good it seems to do.

@w7voa This regime change is going exactly how America's internal and external enemies want. Millions of people will have to converge on DC for extended protest, there will be no other way to stop it.
