At about 1118 UTC on the 7th day of August 2024, I tuned in to KSDA, broadcasting on 15500 kHz in the Indonesian language.
The signal was coming from the Trincomalee 150 kW transmitter in Sri Lanka. (Short Wave Info 2023)

The overall reception of KSDA was good. The signal strength was strong and there was only slight fading of the signal. There was no interference from other stations.
