At about 0145 UTC on Tuesday the 13th day of August 2024, I tuned in to Radio New Zealand International, broadcasting on 17675 kHz in the English language.
The signal was coming from the Rangitaiki 50 kW transmitter in New Zealand. (Short Wave Info 2023)

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