Voice of Turkey, transmitting from Emiler, was logged on 14 February 2019. Turkish pop music and a programme entitled "Did You Know That.." with frequent station IDs was monitored from 18.00 till 18.25 UTC (broadcast time 17.30 till 18.25 UTC). Reception on 11.730 kHz was SINPO 55544 -- strong signal, clear audio, despite slight and occasional fading. HERE is Voice of Turkey.
Reception report was emailed the following dsy. QSL card was received on 6 March 2019.
A fellow radio enthusiast asked why I used a "Muslim name" for this QSL card from the Voice of Turkey. In response let me say this:
ReplyDeleteأشهد أن لا إله إلاَّ الله و أشهد أن محمد رسول الله
While it is undoubtedly possible to receive a QSL from the Voice of Turkey without being a Muslim or using a Muslim name, I choose to use my Muslim name when corresponding with predominately Muslim countries. It doesn't always guarantee a response from Muslim countries, i.e. Saudi Arabia, Libya, Tanzania, who have never verified my reports, especially in recent years. It is an acknowledgement to them that I affirm the same faith, and I communicate with them accordingly.
