I guess it will be up to Sanjay and Harold Krishna to become the standard bearer for the moniker which even shows up in the lyrics of  "Brimful of Asha" by Cornerstone.  :o

Akashvani has always been the official name of AIR. It appears the name change is only the change of the name used on air. I also read somewhere that this was observed on the home service, does it apply to the external service as well?

eQSL appreciated! lucasnerite@gmail.com
Songs are identified with Shazam if needed. I usually use KiwiSDR receivers. Reception from my QTH is using an SDRPlay RSP1A for SWL with a 40 meter band Inverted V at 40 feet. Kenwood TS-570D for ham use.
