Recently I added a new station to my shortwave Station List. India's Athmeeya Yatra Radio, formerly known as , Gospel for Asia (GFA) is owned by Believers Church, and is also known as "AY Radio" Atnmik Yatra" (Spirital Journey).
Monitoring was sufficient to hear via my shortwave receiver on 15390 kHz, as well as hearing it parallel on the Univ. Twente via Wide-band WebSDR. Although I do not comprehend the various Indian languages, the station is easy to follow their religious programming format which includes sitar music, text, frequent identifications and address quotes.
Current multilingual broadcast schedule for Athmeeya Yatra Radio is available from the electronic version of Monitoring Times - MT ExPress. For details on subscription please refer to www.monitoringtimes.com The broadcast schedule, listed on the station's website www.ayasia.org is the 2009 schedule.
