Radio Monitoring Sunday Special

On Sunday i.e.October 7th of 2018,I did some radio monitoring in the night in my QTH at Abhayapuri.And here is a brief summary what I heard on the band.

RX Used:Grundig Yacht Boy 400 (unless mentioned otherwise)
ANT:Cu WIRE 78' Length 30' Height With COAX LEADIN  

Geographical Location of Reception Place(Abhayapuri):
Longitude:26º18´20´´North
Latitude:90º37´50´´East

Adventist World Radio(AWR) Wavescan (Sundays), The DX Program Loggings:
1530-1600utc on  15670kHz(250kW) via Nauen Germany  intially received with fair noisy  signal but later the signal faded away to poor strength to barely audible.
And usually the reception of AWR Wavecan on 11950kHz(250kW) via  SPC-NURTS Sofia Kostinbrod, Bulgaria at my place during 1600-1630utc is not so good with noisy reception.But on last sunday i.e.October 7th I found surprisingly good signal on that frequency.
Here is the audio recorded around 1615utc:

And the reception of AWR Wavescan on 9580kHz  (125kW?) via SLBC Trincomalee, Sri Lanka during 1600-1630utc usually the most reliable &  consistence.And last sunday was also the same...but I observed its audio with slightly low intensity sometimes..(low modulation).As usual there was slight QRM as a form of sideband splatter from a nearby station broadcasting on 9570kHz.
Here is the recorded audio of AWR Wavescan on 9580kHz via SLBC Trincomalee around 1621utc:

And surprisingly later while again airchecking around 1650utc perhaps I couldn't find its signal there.
Special Note:On October 10th also, I did monitor  both 15520kHz & 11765kHz from 1630utc onwards for a miniutes and I couldn't hear any signal of VOT-English any of the two frequencies.
