Many thanks to several SWLing Post<\/em> readers who have shared this news<\/a> from the Radio Belarus website<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Since I rely on a machine translation of the news page<\/a> via Google Translate, I’m not totally clear about the details, but it appears Radio Belarus is shutting down their longwave, mediumwave and shortwave broadcasts on April 1, 2016.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Any SWLing Post<\/em> readers out there who can read and translate the details on this page<\/a>? If so, please comment and I’ll post the translation here! \u00a0Thanks!<\/p>\n

UPDATE<\/strong>: SWLing Post<\/em> contributor, Igor, comments<\/a> with the following translation which was also confirmed by Ed<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Due to the fact that National Government Broadcasting Company of Belarus Republic refused services of the Belarus Radio and TV Transmitting Center, since April, 01 transmission of radio programs of “1 National Channel of Belarus Radio” and “Radiostation Belarus” on LW, MW and SW bands will stop:<\/em><\/p>\n

\n– “1 National Channel of Belarus Radio” on 7255 KHz, 250 KW<\/em>
\n– “Radiostation Belarus” on 11930 KHz, 250 KW<\/em>
