At about 1302 UTC on Saturday the 3rd day of August 2024, I tuned in to China Radio International, broadcasting on 9730 kHz in the English language.
The signal was coming from the Nanning 100kW transmitter in China. (Short Wave Info 2023)

The overall reception of China Radio International was excellent. The signal strength was very strong. There was no interference from other stations on the same frequency or on adjacent frequencies. There was negligible fading of the signal.
