At about 0749 UTC on Friday 7th July 2023, I tuned in to Radio Vanuatu broadcasting in the Bislama language on 7260 kHz.

Radio Vanuatu is Vanuatu’s national broadcaster’s front-line station. The station commenced broadcasting as Radio Vila in 1966. In 1980 following Vanuatu’s independence, it became Ratio Vanuatu. The station broadcasts in Bislama, English, and French.

The broadcast was coming from the Port Vila 2kW transmitter in Vanuatu.
The overall reception of Radio Vanuatu was very good. The signal strength was very strong.
