Jarai is a Malayo-Polynesian language spoken by the Jarai people of Vietnam and Cambodia. (Wikipedia 2024)

The overall reception of FEBC Radio was initially fair.   The signal strength was good and there was only slight fading of the signal.  The Sound of Hope was broadcasting on the same frequency in the Chinese language but it was barely readable. At the start of my listening in, there was a constant siren noise on the frequency which appeared to be deliberate interference. The siren stopped at 1220 UTC at which time the overall reception of FEBC became good.
