[IRCA] Formal sign-on/off

[Glenn Hauser <wghauser@xxxxxxxxx>]

The super-florid sign-off (and sign-on) is still occasionally heard on Latin
American stations, outstripping any gringo version, but also on the way out
there, I think. You used to hear much the same wording on different stations as
if they were working from a style book.

A pet peeve of mine is that altho they sign on and off numerous times a day on
different frequencies, not a single US shortwave station, government or
private, ever bothers to play The Star Spangled Banner. 73, Glenn Hauser, OK
