The wonderful world of listening to the radio

QSL Samsun Türk Radio 2187.5 kHz

Samsun is the largest port in Turkey situated at the Black Sea. The QSL for Samsun Türk Radio on 2187.5 kHz is my third QSl from a Turkish coast radio station, having received Izmir and Istanbul earlier. This leaves Antalya on the “to-do” list.

I received my QSL email via turkradyo(at)kiyiemniyeti.gov.tr

QSL Istanbul Türk Radio 2187.5 kHz

My previous post was about Izmir Türk Radio, a station that I rarely receive. But Istanbul Türk Radio from Turkey is – together with Coruna, Valencia and Olympia Radio – very dominant here on the DSC frequencies.

I received this email QSL in January 2023, about 2 months after I restarted the hobby. At the time I didn’t have this weblog up and running. So this is a bit of a catch- up:

QSL Istanbul Türk Radyo on 2187.5 kHz

Note that the reception date quoted is incorrect, it should be December 2022 obviously. Unlike Izmir, Istanbul Radio can also be heard on HF frequencies, making it an easier catch for listeners outside Europe/Middle East.

QSL Izmir Türk Radyo 2187.5 kHz

QSL for Izmir Türk Radio 2187.5 kHz. Back in the 80-ies I heard this station from Turkey quite often, or better said, I heard calls made to this station often on 2182 kHz. The “Iezzmir – Iezzmir” call from the radio officers was easily recognizable. But I never managed to QSL them.

Last night I heard them for the first time in DSC mode. They sent an answer to a test call from cargo ship Erge (Panamese flag) anchored in Izmir harbor. My report to turkradyo@kiyiemniyeti.gov.tr was answered within a day with an almost fully detailed reply.

QSL Voice of Turkey 12035 kHz

The Voice of Turkey is one of the few governmental broadcasters left offering an international service in a variety of languages. And they still send out beautiful QSL cards. Last week I received this one for my reception report of their English program on 12035 kHz.
