At about 0530 UTC on the 24th day of July 2024, I tuned in to Adventist World Radio, broadcasting on 17790 kHz in the Arabic language.
The signal was coming from the Talata-Volonondry 250kW transmitter in the central highlands of Madagascar. The target area was North Africa and the Middle East. (Short Wave Info 2023) (WRTH 2024)

The overall reception of Adventist World Radio was good. The signal strength was good and there was only slight fading of the signal. There was no interference from other stations on the frequency or on adjacent frequencies.
