At about 1313 UTC on the 13th day of July 2024, I tuned in to the BBC, broadcasting on 15295 kHz in the English language.
The signal was coming from the Al Seela 250kW transmitter in Oman. (Short Wave Info 2023)

The broadcast consisted of current affairs including the Republican National Convention.
The overall reception of the BBC was good. The signal strength was good, and there was only slight fading of the signal. There was no interference from stations on adjacent frequencies. There was only slight atmospheric noise on the band.
