Belarus reduces hours on shortwave

I have checked the Belarusian home service channels in 49 and 41 metrebands at various times, since I noted them off on Apr 01. The stations seem to have reduced their schedules considerably from 0400-2200 during B08 to 1500v-2100 in the present A09 period. Their sign on times have been observed as follows in April:
*1430: BR1 in Brest 6010, Hrodna 6040, BR2 in Hrodna 7265, BR1 Hrodna 7280 (ex 7110).
*1440: BR1 in Brest 6070, Minsk 6080,
*1500: BR1 in Minsk 6115, Mahilioú 6190, Mahilioú 7135 (ex 7145). (Petersen)
