At about 1205 UTC on Friday the 9th day of August 2024, I tuned in to Echo of Hope, broadcasting on 6350 kHz in the Korean language.
The signal was coming from the Hwaseong 100 kW transmitter in South Korea. (Short Wave Info 2023)

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