Voice of Russia to closedown shortwave


On the PCJ Media and PCJ Radio Facebook group page, Andy Sennitt, formerly of Radio Netherlands, has posted the news that Voice of Russia will cease all shortwave transmissions on January 1, 2014. Listener's can well remember the cold war days of Radio Moscow, broadcasting 24 hours on multiple frequencies and language services. Voice of Russia was active in QSLing, and a favorite to many.

Confirmation of their plans has been posted by Andy, and can be read at : http://english.news.mn/content/164178.shtml
