"Wavescan" DX Program to Continue from New Location

The final edition of AWR's DX program "Wavescan" produced in Singapore  
is scheduled for broadcast on May 31, 2009, with the usual scheduled  
repeats during the first few days into June. Beginning in the first  
week of June, "Wavescan" will be written and produced in the United  
States for broadcast worldwide.

In the new arrangement, the scripts for "Wavescan" will be researched  
and written in Indianapolis, Indiana, and the program will be  
assembled and produced in the Miami, Florida, studios of shortwave  
station WRMI/Radio Miami International. QSL cards acknowledging the  
reception of "Wavescan" will be available from both WRMI and Adventist  
World Radio.

At the end of May, AWR's Singapore office and studio will be  
transferred to nearby Batam Island, Indonesia. This move will achieve  
considerable cost savings for AWR.

Many long-time listeners will remember that the original AWR DX  
program, "Radio Monitors International," was produced in the Poona  
(Pune), India, studios of Adventist World Radio and broadcast on the  
domestic and international shortwave services of the Sri Lanka  
Broadcasting Corporation. Beginning in 1984, North American coverage  
was achieved through the services of Jeff White and his original Radio  
Earth/Radio Discovery service. "Radio Monitors International" became  
"Wavescan," and Radio Earth/Radio Discovery became Radio Miami  
International/WRMI.

The new presentations of "Wavescan" will be very similar to the  
earlier editions as produced in Singapore. Each edition will include a  
station profile on an important or a little-known shortwave station  
from a historical perspective. There will also be other features from  
the fascinating world of international radio broadcasting, as well as  
regular bulletins of DX news. It is intended that the regular DX  
bulletins from Japan, Bangladesh, Philippines and Australia will be  
included as usual in these new broadcasts of "Wavescan."

Other radio entities are welcome to re-broadcast "Wavescan," archive  
the programs on Internet websites, and reprint items and articles from  
the scripts and archive the scripts, with the usual attribution to AWR  
"Wavescan" and to Radio Miami International/WRMI.
As was announced in "Wavescan" earlier, the annual worldwide listener  
contest during the month of June will continue as planned. Listeners  
are invited to prepare a list and give details and photocopies of 5  
QSLs from silent shortwave stations; to submit 3 reception reports on  
AWR transmissions; and, where possible, to submit 3 suitable radio  
cards to the "Wavescan" address in Indianapolis.
Adventist World Radio would like to express appreciation to AWR  
assistant program director Rhoen Catolico for his splendid work on the  
production of "Wavescan" during the past three years and to wish him  
every success with his endeavors as he returns to his homeland in the  
Philippines. We would also like to express our appreciation to Jeff  
White at WRMI for mutual co-operation in the areas of international  
radio broadcasting over the past quarter century, and we are grateful  
for this new relationship in the production and distribution of the  
program in his station in Miami.

Jeff White is currently the president of NASB, the National  
Association of Shortwave Broadcasters USA, in addition to his  
management responsibilities at WRMI.

Adrian Peterson is DX editor for Adventist World Radio and a Board  
Member for NASB, the National Association of Shortwave Broadcasters  
USA. The address is:
