For informations of all, Akashvani Goalpara on 102.6MHz and Akashvani Kokrajhar on 102MHz are the two only radio stations now audible with good reception here in my location.

A few Akashvani Medium Wave Logs:
 My Respected Senior Radio Friend Prof. Hajong (VU3NVY) from Shillong is now on winter vacation somewhere in the land of rising sun of India & near by areas of Assam, he shared me with video clips of recordings  Akashvani Pashighat on 1060kHz slightly off frequency..actual frequency is 1062kHz on sunday evening perhaps & also Akashvani Itanagar on 675kHz (very noisy reception) & also in the  morning yesterday perhaps the recordings of Akashvani Dibrugrah on 567kHz with noisy reception.The receiver he used is portable Tescun PL310et just with telescopic antenna perhaps.Thanks OM VU3NYV for monitoring and sending all the clips. 
Still continuing with Akashvani Medium Wave Station log, after getting the information of Prof. Hajong Sir, I checked the medium wave band here in my place on the sunday i.e.on December 28th...I got excellent reception of Akashvani Pasighat on 1062kHz from 1358utc onwards..here is the audio recorded around 1359utc ...the audio link:
Also noted strong signal of Akashvani Dibrugarh on 567kHz, Akashvani Kolkata Geetanjali 657kHz, Akashvani Cuttack on 972kHz ,Akashvani Itanagar on 675kHz etc etc..
On December 21st, I recorded audio file of Akashvani Dibrugarh on 567kHz around 1155utc and I will end my report with this link of audio recording..
I used my Grundig Yacht Boy 400 receiver with an inverted V dipole for monitoring the above mentioned medium wave broadcasts.
