Has the Voice of Greece discontinued shortwave service?

Gone off air at 1700 hrs UTC, nothing ceremonious. They were still transmitting a church service which was matching their webstream.

I cannot confirm this but I saw a new time schedule for VOG 9420 kHz which was 1159 to 1659 hrs UTC. I suppose this will last until the new deadline closure of May 31st

I have YET to hear anything on 9.420 for, I don't know maybe a week. Previously enjoyed their xmit.'s...A dependable signal, made my evenings preparing & eating supper less boring! I AM disappointed!  >:(

I tuned onto 9420 AM and China national radio is on with their Amoy service but not Greece, maybe they are on a new schedule?

I have had comments from other north American DXers saying the same thing, the problem being 9420 kHz cannot be reached during those new transmission times.
I also see 11645 & 9935 kHz still being listed, but I have not checked those frequencies out yet since 9420 kHz was always the best one to receive.
The listings on eibispace.de & shortwave.info have not been updated yet to show VOG's new schedules.
They still have a strong signal for Europe, but unfortunately them closing early at 1700 hrs UTC is not helping reception outside of Europe.
