At about 1030 UTC on the 25th day of July 2024, I tuned in to NHK World Radio, Japan, broadcasting on 17690 kHz in the Russian language.
The signal was coming from the Ibaragi-koga-yamata 300kW transmitter in Japan. (Short Wave Info 2023)

The overall reception of NHK 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.
