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.

Adventist World Radio  Wavescan The Global DX Program

(On Sundays Only)

1530-1600utc on 15530kHz 

1600-1630utc on 12040kHz 

2200-2230utc on 12040kHz 

All transmissions are via  KSDA ,Agat-Guam(100kW)

2.My Monitoring Observations On October 31st..the very first Day of B21 Season ..

AWR English Wavescan ,the Global DX Program

1530-1559utc 15530kHz via  KSDA-Agat, Guam (100kW)

Good signal strength,overall reception was good

Station Idd etc announcement of KSDA Guam,Wavescan Program follows-feature radio story from Caribean,ancient DX Report,Indian DX Report.usual closing announcement ,Music 

Here is the link to the audio recorded around 1530utc:

https://app.box.com/s/6ntzatklym0l8ekyvc0zd0dq2l8m32np

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.

1600-1629utc  12040kHz via  KSDA-Agat, Guam (100kW)

Good Signal Strength,slight fading ,overall reception good

Program details same as heard earlier

Here is the link to the audio recorded around 1602utc:

https://app.box.com/s/2ncxd3nki630c5vdsi2ty12a4in2zgfq

And on 17730kHz via Madagascar during 1600-1630utc instead of previously announced Wavescan Program, a different Indian language program was on air and later it was confirmed it was Marathi Language Program.

I did not check the 2200-2230utc on 12040kHz transmission.Hope it is as per announced schedule.

2.AWR Assamese 

15530kHz 1330utc for a few minutes  via-Agat, Guam (100kW)

AWR Assamese was heard on March 28th(sunday) i.e.on the very first day of A21 season with excellent overall reception with strong signal on 15550kHz (via Tashkent-Uzbekistan,100kW) during my monitoring period from 1330 to 1357utc.

AWR Assamese  began its broadcast in Assamese perhaps in October,1998.

About Trans World Radio Assamese Going Off The Air:
The other Gospel Station which used to broadcast in Assamese for several decades, Trans World Radio(TWR) has cancelled its Assamese language in mid January this year  on shortwave   as reported in a blog by a radio monitor along with several other language transmissions.
This is the link where I got the information.
https://www.bclnews.it/2021/01/15/cancelled-transmissions-of-ktwr-trans-world-radio-asia-trans-world-radio-india/

TWR used to broadcast its Assamese language transmission from its transmitter site in Agana,Guam.And on this A21 season, I have not been able to trace its broadcast on shortwave.
.For several years including last winter season ,TWR-Assamese could be heard on monday to friday during 1215 to 1245utc on shortwave(9910kHz during B20 season).I am not sure about the reason of this discontinuation.
I do not know from when exactly TWR began its Assamese transmission.I found mention of TWR Assamese transmission along with then Radio Moscow's Assamese transmission  in an article by Mukut C Sarma in Bigyan Jeuti, bimonthly Magazine(in Assamese) of Assam Science Society of 1985.This means TWR is the first Gospel radio station to broadcast in Assamese and it might have been on air atleast a few years earlier from 1985.
Here is the snap of the footnote with skd of international broadcasting station in Assamese during that time printed with the article of Mukut C Sarma in  Bigyan Jeuti on the hobby of DXING which was scanned by me.The article is in my collection. 

More inputs/monitoring updates etc soon.
