Re: [Swprograms] BBC shortwave to Europe ending Feb 18

[Glenn Hauser <wghauser@xxxxxxxxx>]

No mention of which frequencies are affected - Southern Europe is coupled
with North Africa in their schedules. Does it affect all the frequencies in
the Southern Europe and North Africa schedule? And also the remaining
service to Western Russia also? As well as English BBCWS are any remaining
language services to Europe still on shortwave also closing? (Alan Pennington,
