At about 0919 UTC on the 16th day of May 2024, I tuned on to Bay Islands Radio, transmitting on 5045 kHz in the English language.
The station broadcasts from MacLeay Island in Queensland. Macleay Island is an island in Moreton Bay, South East Queensland, Australia. It is the second largest of the four Bay Islands, situated 30km from Brisbane in the Moreton Bay Marine Park at the southern end of Moreton Bay.

The overall reception of Bay Islands Radio was good. The signal strength was good and unlike the last time I tuned in, there was only slight interference from stations on adjacent frequencies. There was only slight fading of the signal and very few static crashes on the band.
