At about 1305 UTC on the 25th day of July 2024, I tuned in to KSDA Guam, broadcasting on 12055 kHz in the Kachin language.
Kachin, also known as Jinghpaw is a Tibeto-Burman language spoken primarily in Kachin State, Myanmar; Northeast India; and Yunnan, China. (Wikipedia 2024)
The signal was coming from the Agat 100kW transmitter in the Mariana Islands. (Short Wave Info 2023)
Above:- Map showing the location of Agat. Map c/o Google Maps.
The overall reception of KSDA 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.
| S | I | N | P | O |

Below is a short video showing my reception of KSDA.
