At about 1145 UTC on Tuesday the 6th day of August 2024, I tuned in to China Radio International, broadcasting on 13720 kHz in the English language.
The signal was coming from the Xianyang 500 kW transmitter in China. (Short Wave Info 2023).

The overall reception of China Radio International was initially 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.
