For the first time Vatican Radio is going to use regularly the Radio Veritas Asia (RVA) transmitter in the Philippines in the B09 schedule period for its second morning transmission to India at 0200-0320 UTC. Earlier this service was relayed via a Russian transmitter, and at present it is coming from Santa Maria di Galeria in Italy. This change should improve reception in South Asia. This service comprising Hindi, Tamil, Malayalam and English (a repeat of the 0040-0200 transmission) at 0200-0320 hrs can be heard on 15460 kHz in B09 effective 25 October 2009.
In exchange, Radio Veritas Asia will use the Santa Maria di Galeria transmitter of Vatican Radio in B09 in Urdu at 1430-1457 hrs on 9585 kHz and Filipino to the ME at 1500-1553 hrs on 11715 kHz effective 25 October 2009.
