Anyone notice that V of Turkey has taken up one of the Beeb's abandoned
slots? Voice of Turkey is now on 5975 kHz in English, from 0300-0400.
Very nice signal in mid-Atlantic USA. Good move on VOT's part!

Similar to the manner in which R. Netherlands had taken up use of
abandoned BBC time slots on 9590 kHz when the BBC eliminated its NAm
service in 2001.


I finally remembered to tune it in and was not able to make it out very
well. Signal level fluctuated dramatically and the announcer sounding
like they were talking in the bottom of a thank. Modulation was a little
on the weak side. All this made it impossible to tell what they were
talking about.

How good is the signal for you? I'll have to try another time in order
to know if this is the usual reception for me. Conditions are good right
now so I'm not hopeful.
