At about 1235 UTC on the 22nd day of July 2024, I tuned in to the BBC, broadcasting on 5875 kHz in the Korean language.
The signal was coming from the Tinian Island 250kW transmitter in the Mariana Islands. (Short Wave Info 2023)

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 the frequency or on adjacent frequencies. There was only slight atmospheric noise on the band.
