At about 0713 UTC on Saturday, the 12th day of July 2025, I tuned in to the Voice of Turkey broadcasting on 13635 kHz in the Turkish language.
The signal was coming from the 500 KW transmitter in Emirler. Turkey. T(Short Wave Info 2024)

The overall reception of the Voice of Turkey was good. There was some ‘bleed over’ from the Sound of Hope broadcasting in the Chinese language on 13630 kHz.
