1.AWR English Wavescan Program,The Global DX Program  
   Updated Corrected Monitored   B21 Schedule 
As per information posted earlier, the schedule of AWR Wavescan Program for B21 Season (effective October 31,2021 to March 26,2022) as announced on Wavescan Program for October 24th  was wrong partially as monitored on October 31st.
Here is the correct version of the schedule as monitored by me  and also as per official shortwave schedule of AWR Frequency Management Office ,Germany released on October 30th & other radio databases found on the internet.

The transmission was initially announced to be transmitted from Trincomalee,Sri Lanka.
And on 15615kHz during 1530-1600utc  in place of Wavescan program as announced earlier perhaps Gujrati language of AWR was on air as checked by me for a brief period and later confirmed by checking the AWR schedule.
