On 19th September 2021, approximately 2053 hours (UTC+8), I prepared to receive Radio France International (RFI) SW 9650kHz Vietnamese broadcast from Taiwan transmitter. Before RFI signing on, I attempted to receive Radyo Denge Welat SW 11530kHz from Moldova actually.
At SW 11530kHz, I heard something music which sounds like Arabic songs, then I checked the station list on short-wave.info. It showed two radio stations were on air during 2054H (UTC+8). So, I went to Radyo Denge Welat website online streaming player to listen to the content, in fact its content did not match with SW 11530kHz which I was receiving in Malaysia.
Next, I went to refer few DXers videos on YouTube of receiving TRT Radyo Recep Erdogan. It is exactly same as what I was listening yesterday.
In conclusion, SW 11530kHz which I received in Malaysia was TRT Radyo Recep Erdogan from Emirler, Turkey.
The radio stations play Turkish military music actually. It is called as jammer by many DXers.
According to DXers, Turkey's government runs TRT Radyo Recept Erdogan as a radio jammer against Kurdistan's clandestine radio station Radio Denge Welat signal. I believe there is a conflict between Turkey and Kurdish, that is a cold war through radio. The Turkey-Kurdish conflict happens since 27th November 1978.
In terms of reception, TRT Radyo Recep Erdogan was receivable, but signal quality was moderate. Hence, I gave the SINPO code 35333.
