At about 1055 UTC on Monday the 5th day of August 2024, I tuned in to NHK World, JAPAN, broadcasting on 9750 kHz in the Japanese language.
The signal was coming from the Ibaragi-koga-Yamaha 300kW transmitter in Japan. (Short Wave Info 2023)

The overall reception of NHK World Japan was good. The signal strength was good. There was no interference from other stations on the same frequency or on adjacent frequencies. There were some static crashes on the band.
