Altho she does not have a heavy accent, and speaks carefully, in less than perfect reception with fades, I still have trouble understanding her, especially when mentioning unfamiliar names and places. Opening comments something about traffic being obstructed next week in Ankara. Turkey beat US in WCup. 1) Mr Marek? --?, Poland, sent two postcards, one about a MW tower that reaches the US and NZ. 2) Siddartha Papajarjee, W Bengal, report on 11660 at 1630, SIO 433 - so I wonder what caused the 3-level QRM? 3) Annan Bane?, SWL club, India, heard 17620 via UTwente, wants address of 14-y-o Eric to send stamps, postcards; something about World Cup. 4) -- Tanaka, 14-y-o in Ichikawa? Chiba pref., Japan, listened to Chinese. 5) Chakraborty, New Delhi, how does Ankara metro system compare? 6) Miss Mei Lin, Sichuan prov., about QSL cards. 7) Finally, --? Bowser?, somewhere in USA, 75-year-old has QSLs from the 1960s and resumes SWL after 60 years. Cemre`s closing comments also not understood, 1712 theme (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non].

Websked still shows 2300-0300 and only on weekends (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 97.3, June 28 at 1606 UT, checking for possible Es DX, finds some stronger signals, but apparently enhanced groundwave rather than skip, such as this one IDing as ``Continuous country, Q97`` and again at 1613 -- depending on the punxuation, there are three possibilities in the WTFDA FM DB. Stations should be required to utter ``hyphen`` if there be one, and don`t confuse with a dash which is more than one hyphen; or ``space`` if there be one.
