Goodbye Radio Singapore International

In case you missed this morning's broadcast, the following two observations were made for their final broadcast.

All times UTC

Singapore, 6120, Radio Singapore Int, 1050-1101, noted a male and female in Malay comments during the period. Everyone seemed happy and jolly during the period as if they were having a party. Signal wasn't that good however. Noted a parallel broadcast on 7235 KHz which
faded out before 1100 while 6120 was poor to fair. (Chuck Bolland, July 31, 2008)

Singapore, 6080, Radio Singapore International (pres),1108-1130, Caught a female in Eng language comments during the period. Signal was always at poor or worst level. Consequently,it made hearing details difficult. At 1121 music was presented. Didn't hear the joy in this
transmission that was noted in the 6120 transmission above. (Chuck Bolland, FL July 31, 2008)

Tuned in at 13:50 to catch the last few minutes of RSI. Time check for 9:55 at 13:55 and into the final news in English. Reception not quite as good as I've previously heard during the last few weeks, but perfectly readable. Weak cochannel with music noted at 13:57. // 6150 just audible under much stronger cochannel. Ended at 13:58:20. End of transmission at 13:58:30 with sign-off (nothing really special, except announcing that the SW will end as of tomorrow.....a bit disappointing. I was hoping to hear something more substantial). Interval signal for RA came on at 13:59:40 or so blocking the last few seconds of RSI. Goodbye to another SW broadcaster :-(Walt Walter Salmaniw, BC, Canada)
