At about 0811 UTC on Wednesday 29th December 2021, I tuned in to Adventist World Radio – The Voice of Hope, broadcasting in the French language on 15.145 kHz.

Adventist World Radio has been broadcasting since October 1971, when it commenced leasing shortwave airtime in Portugal. In 2011, during WAR’s 40th anniversary, they were reaching nearly 100 broadcast languages.

Adventist World Radio website states:-

“AWR broadcasts the Advent hope in Christ through the most effective media to the people of the world in their own languages. Radio overcomes the barriers of government restrictions, cultural opposition, illiteracy, and geography.”

The broadcast was originating from AWR’s Moosbrunn 300kW transmitter in Austria.

The overall reception of Adventist World Radio was excellent. The signal strength was very strong and there was no fading on the signal and no interference from other stations.
