At about 1322 UTC on the 22nd day of July 2024, I tuned in to Trans World Radio Asia, broadcasting on 17700 kHz in the Awadhi language.
The signal was coming from the Talato-Volo 1kW transmitter in Madagascar. (Short Wave Info 2023)

The overall reception of TWR 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.
