At about 1138 UTC on Tuesday, the 10th day of June 2025, I tuned in to FEBC Radio, broadcasting on 9795 kHz in the Vietnamese language.
The signal was coming from the Iba 100 kW transmitter in the Philippines. (Short Wave Info 2024)

The overall reception of FEBC Radio was poor. The signal strength was good; however, there was obvious deliberate interference in the form of a siren on the frequency. It made listening pleasure very difficult.
