Voice of Vietnam quitting shortwave

``We have information that Voice of Vietnam relays from South
Carolina, WHRI are going to be discontinued, most likely, as the
station is planning to probably eliminate its shortwave broadcasts
altogether, and it may do shortwave [sic] broadcasts to the United
States via some local AM and FM stations``

I am not sure they are completing quitting shortwave altogether, this from Shortwave Central earlier this week:

http://mt-shortwave.blogspot.com/2020/09/voice-of-vietnam-unveils-new-logo.html
Tecsun H501x (broadcast received on this unless noted), Zenith T/O G500, Zenith T/O Royal 7000, Emerson AR-176, Zenith 8S154, T/O 7G605 (Bomber), Tecsun PL-600, Tecsun PL-880, Zenith 5S320, Realistic DX 160 using 40 feet of copper wire.  With apologies to Senator Gramm for his thoughts on firearms, "I have more radios than I need but not as many as I want."
QTH:  Durham, Connecticut (rural setting, 15 miles north of Long Island Sound)

Looks more like WHRI is quitting shortwave (making Wiener's purchase all the more mysterious) and VOV is a casualty. Let's hope WRMI picks it up.
