At about 1145 UTC on Thursday the 1st August 2024, I tuned in to BBC, broadcasting on 9410 kHz in the English language.
The signal was coming from the Tinang 250 kW transmitter in the Philippines. (Short Wave Info 2023)
The broadcast consisted of the Outlook program and the Witness History program. The broadcast concluded at 1200 UTC.

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 other stations on the same frequency or on adjacent frequencies.

Love to hear AM… Been experimenting with AM long path on 20m recently between VK 🇦🇺 and UK 🇬🇧 with some great results… Nice to hear the phase distortion and the retro sound of AM again that I used during the 1970’s Paul… Dave G4AKC
