TURKEY 6520.00 UNID (Orient?). Hallo - just ist eine Px-Sendung auf
der Frequenz zu hoeren mit hier sporadisch bis zu S=9+20 bei leichtem
"verwaschenen" Fading.

Klingt im Text, und nach dem Musikstil nach einer Turk-Sprache, Kurdish ?
Zu anderen Tageszeiten sendet man auf 7410 laut Aoki. Wenn Kurdish,
muesste man mal im 60 oder 76 mb nach einer Parallelsendung suchen. Hier
auch zwischen S=8 bis S=9+10dB hoch fadend.

VANUATU 7260 Have been out of the DXing "loop" for a while, but I just
wanted to let you know that Radio Vanuatu is indeed transmitting on the
new frequency of 7260. Steve has done a fantastic job of helping solve
some of the glitches that were causing problems on the higher frequencies.
I sent them a care package of higher voltage Vacuum Variable Capacitors,
and other odds and ends back in October. The engineering staff of Radio
Vanuatu, as well as Steve from Radio New Zealand, are all truly remarkable
engineers. The situation there is difficult when it comes to locating
parts, and these fellows have become MASTERS at making things work,
regardless the difficulties. I just can't thank them enough for their hard
work, diligence, and patience, with a transmitter that really was my first
prototype. I guess we'll see how well the new layout performs over the
coming months.
