Reception on the medium-wave frequency of 918 kHz was quite poor, but audible when not fading under atmospheric noise. Frequency was relatively clear once National Radio of Kampuchea signed off at around 17.00 UTC. Signal drifts in between 17.05 to 1710 UTC, nightly. Then, for approximately 3 to 4 minutes signal begins to peak and drift off after about 2 minutes.Overall SINPO was 14321.

Reception report was emailed and posted in subsequent days. A QSL card verifying reports for both AIR Jalandar and AIR Suratgarh arrived in the mail on 26 September 2017.
