I will try to compile a monitoring observations  further for its evening transmissions later.

Akashvani External Service's Nepali Service 

0145-0315utc 15410kHz via SPT Bengaluru

Good signal strength but sometimes rough audio still there

0900-1030utc 15410kHz via SPT Bengaluru

as same mentioned earlier 

but other parallel frequencies viz 9795kHz & 118865kHz both via Delhi has been poor here in my location.

Station KNLS Alaska English via Madagascar World Voice(MWV)

monitored schedule same as in the summer.

on 13760kHz 

from 0200-258utc & repeat  from 0300-0358utc.

But it was off the air on October 28th during both time slots,but on the following day i.e. from October 29th, it has come back on air.On October 28th,I did check KNLS's parent organisation World Christan Broadcasting website on my mobile I did not find this part of their schedule.Later a DXER from Hyderbad who checked the website on his PC found out the schedule was there.In mobile, this part of their schedule was hidden or could not seen properly.That's why I miss it.I thought KNLS English to India was deleted.

Like summer, the first transmission slot is giving better reception than the second repeat transmission.

Radio New Zealand(RNZ)Pacific English is well heard here during 1100-1258utc on 13755kHz.Here is the audio file link recorded around 1200utc on October 27th:

Adventist World Radio:

AWR Assamese via KSDA Guam was heard with  strong signal on 17735kHz as per the skd announced from 1330utc.

But no English transmission of AWR via KSDA Guam  was there in their B24 schedule as reported earlier in the  and no fresh uodate of schedule information has been posted so far.So, no Wavescan,the Global DX Program from AWR via KSDA Guam is there.I heard last two sundays's edition (October 27th & November 3rd) of the program via live streaming on WRMI website.And here a recording link a portion of the host Jeff White  regarding AWR & Wavescan:

https://app.box.com/s/yi3g3hi79dugczhyvls269oqqsx8356x

But no fresh podcast available from October 27th edition onwards  on Wavescan in the AWR website so far.Meanwhile, it has been reported among other things related to Wavescan-recenet developments in AWR in the Glen Hauser's World Of Radio IO Groups as posted by Ray Robinson that Wavescan will be available on a new podcast form at https://wavescan.podomatic.com

and will be available on shortwave via  WRMI, WWCR, VOH-Africa and IRRS as before.And they are also in touch with some other shortwave stations which are broadcasting to Asia to air Wavescan.

I like to thank specially  to OM Jose Jacob,VU2JOS of Hyderabad for his updates related B24 schedules ,recent changes in AWR & related to Wavescan and WRMI live streaming schedule of Wavescan etc.

More observations/radio news/monitoring reports etc from time to time.
