6150 2210-2245 Turkish Northern Cyprus, Radio Bayrak Intl, definitely //
the web site. By 2240 strong enough to remove any lingering doubt. This
is one time SW needs to thank the computer! I noticed something behind
it. Perhaps this is Taiwan, and perhaps I did hear Taiwan mixing with
Bayrak last night and then signing off at 2400. I suspect this is the
situation. In any case Bayrak definitely there tonight. December 30 (
