Radio Belarus to shut down shortwave, mediumwave and longwave?
Many thanks to several SWLing Post readers who have shared this news from the Radio Belarus website.
Since I rely on a machine translation of the news page 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.
Any SWLing Post readers out there who can read and translate the details on this page? If so, please comment and I'll post the translation here! Thanks!
UPDATE: SWLing Post contributor, Igor, comments with the following translation which was also confirmed by Ed:
