QSL Antalya Türk Radio 2187.5 kHz

As far as I know there are 4 stations active on DSC watch 2187.5 kHz from Turkey. Earlier I received replies from Istanbul Radio, Samsun Radio and Izmir Radio. So when I received a test confirmation from Antalya Türk Radio on a test message of tanker ADRIA in the eastern Mediterranean I hoped to put a “crown” on my Türk Radio QSL collection.

Unfortunately contrary to the other QSLs which contained a polite and detailed confirmation, this one was just an “It’s true” message… More text than my Buenos Aires Radio QSL, that’s true… and if anything I’m grateful for the reply.

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.
