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.

Same here in SW Florida. Can't understand enough of what's being
said to follow any programs but music.

How about this evening? Tonight the signal is similar to the previous
evening where the announcer sounds like they are in the bottom of a
tank and the signal fluctuates S2 to S6 but I can make out what is
being said even though it is not pleasant to listen to it.

I can hear a woman say this broadcast is intended for north America and
read the news.
