At about 1227 UTC on the 24th day of July 2024, I tuned in to the Voice of Turkey, broadcasting on 17580 kHz in the Urdu language.
The program consisted of music.
The signal was coming from the Emirler 500kW transmitter in Turkey. (Short Wave Info 2023)

The overall reception of the Voice of Turkey was good. The signal strength was good and there was only slight fading of the signal. There was no interference from other stations on the frequency or on adjacent frequencies.
