At about 1220 UTC on Thursday the 15th day of August 2024, I tuned in to Radio Ergo, broadcasting on 21595 kHz in the Somali language.
Radio Ergo produces and broadcasts humanitarian news and information across Somalia and the Somali-speaking region.
The signal was coming from the Al-Dhabbiya 250 kW transmitter in the United Arab Emirates. (Short Wave Schedule 2024)

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