At about 0907 UTC on Monday, the 12th day of October 2026, I tuned in to KBS World Radio, South Korea, broadcasting on 9770 kHz in the English language.
The broadcast was coming from the 100 kW transmitter in Kimjae, South Korea.

The overall reception of VOA was very good. The signal strength was strong. There was no interference from other stations and there was only slight fading of the signal. There were some static crashes on the band.
