CYPRUS Thank you very much for your e-mail of Feb 21. Although I have
replied to your message of Jan 25, you seem to have missed it. You are
saying in your message that you should be one of the first to detect
Bayrak Radio II (Bayrak International) on SW. In fact, you are the very
first person to report a reception after 14 Jan 1997, when test
transmissions were started. The transmissions lasted until 14 Febr. The
HF Transmission equipment is being renewed lately. Therefore, it will
take a few more months before regular transmissions begin.
Meanwhile, the utilization of a new frequency is being evaluated. May I
ask you to supply me with any information you might have, on the
spectrum of 49 mb in your area? I would like to know the real situation
in terms of available frequencies.
[would suggest using 6190 kHz, ed]
My original e-mail follows:
Thank you for the reception report on Bayrak Radio HF Transmission. The
program details have been confirmed by our Radio II program department.
A written confirmation will be sent via mail, along with some other
