** Personal First
What a day! The third period of double hop into Turkey in less that a week and we're still only in the early stages of the season!
It began with simultaneous openings to Poland, Slovakia, Moldova and the Balkans. Istanbul appeared briefly on 87.5. Then Ankara and Adana appeared, cross fading with each other. It was clear to see which areas of Turkey were received as the two different areas of skip faded in and out independently, demonstrating that there was more than one Es opening in place.
Sanliurfa and Kayseri appeared in the south of the country, then Duzce in the north-west. Then things started getting serious with the appearance of the Van transmitter in south-eastern Turkey.
Was it going to extend further? Arabic appeared on a few frequencies. Clearly something unusual was happening. At 13:30, the biggest surprise of them all came in, right at the end of the opening. The BBC World Service's Arabic programme appeared on 89.0! I wasn't sure what I was hearing to begin with, but the words "London", "BBC" and "bbcarabic.com" were all there. Ian Kelly came to the rescue with a link to the BBC World Service Arabic podcast for the same time and, after cross-referencing everything, it became clear that what I had heard was "BBC World Service Arabic". The transmitter in Baghdad was inline with my reception, so it seems safe to assume that this was definitely double hop Es to Iraq. Two other transmitters of BBC WS Arabic are also listed on the frequency, but the Baghdad transmitter was the closest. I can't rule out this being one of the others but Baghdad may make more sense due to other Arabic stations received at the time which were also potential Baghdad transmitters.
Since this was an unusual opening, I decided to back up all my FDM-S2 files which contain the Turkish and Arabic DX. I created two Mediafire accounts where I have stored 18 files. I feel sure other stations may be identified from these in the future. They can be accessed at:

I would like to say a BIG thank you to Kurt in Istanbul for his help with my many Turkish recordings.
For the record, here are recordings of a few unidentified Arabic stations I have been trying to track down. Hopefully I may find an Arabic speaker one day who will be able to listen and spot a few clues.

What a day! The third period of double hop into Turkey in less that a week and we're still only in the early stages of the season!
It began with simultaneous openings to Poland, Slovakia, Moldova and the Balkans. Istanbul appeared briefly on 87.5. Then Ankara and Adana appeared, cross fading with each other. It was clear to see which areas of Turkey were received as the two different areas of skip faded in and out independently, demonstrating that there was more than one Es opening in place.
Sanliurfa and Kayseri appeared in the south of the country, then Duzce in the north-west. Then things started getting serious with the appearance of the Van transmitter in south-eastern Turkey.
Was it going to extend further? Arabic appeared on a few frequencies. Clearly something unusual was happening. At 13:30, the biggest surprise of them all came in, right at the end of the opening. The BBC World Service's Arabic programme appeared on 89.0! I wasn't sure what I was hearing to begin with, but the words "London", "BBC" and "bbcarabic.com" were all there. Ian Kelly came to the rescue with a link to the BBC World Service Arabic podcast for the same time and, after cross-referencing everything, it became clear that what I had heard was "BBC World Service Arabic". The transmitter in Baghdad was inline with my reception, so it seems safe to assume that this was definitely double hop Es to Iraq. Two other transmitters of BBC WS Arabic are also listed on the frequency, but the Baghdad transmitter was the closest. I can't rule out this being one of the others but Baghdad may make more sense due to other Arabic stations received at the time which were also potential Baghdad transmitters.
Since this was an unusual opening, I decided to back up all my FDM-S2 files which contain the Turkish and Arabic DX. I created two Mediafire accounts where I have stored 18 files. I feel sure other stations may be identified from these in the future. They can be accessed at:

I would like to say a BIG thank you to Kurt in Istanbul for his help with my many Turkish recordings.
For the record, here are recordings of a few unidentified Arabic stations I have been trying to track down. Hopefully I may find an Arabic speaker one day who will be able to listen and spot a few clues.
UPDATE - 30-03-20:
Many thanks to Jorge Garzón for the following information.
Regarding 89.9 and 88.3, listed below.
"Both recordings have strong Iraq accent although they don't give neither ID nor place names or clues. My two friends in the area (Both Arabs) which whom I am in contact told me that they are 100% sure these stations come from Iraq."

** Personal First
Belarus and Ukraine were received in the OIRT range from 0830, the MUF quickly spreading into band 2 where signals from the Balkans were coming through. I was lucky to be on 88.2 at just the right moment when Turkey appeared briefly. It lasted less than half a minute but produced a good signal with instant RDS. Around this time there was exotic sounding music on 87.5, Koran on 89.5 and 90.4, plus pops on 87.8. Signals from the Hungarian/Romanian border were received also at this time which would probably have been the point of double-hop.
Various other openings occurred throughout the day, including a widespread opening to Spain, Portugal and Poland early evening, plus a fair amount of OIRT stuff, but I was frequently away from the receiver during this and so missed quite a lot. My techie friend was with me again, getting the FDM-S2 working again. I am pleased to say that the recent problems I have experienced with this are now rectified. I simply connected the FDM-S2's USB cable to a powered USB hub (why didn't I think of this?) and it worked perfectly again. It looks like the replacement power supply I fitted to my computer two weeks ago was not delivering enough voltage. There could still be a problem with the motherboard, but it seems like the psu was the likely cause of the issues. A new "Corsair" brand replacement psu has now been ordered. All today's DXing was done on my Sony XDR-F1HD.
Good DX!

A welcome return to band 2 Es on what is showing every indication on being the worst Es season I have known. It's early days and it could all change, but May has been very disappointing so far.
The OIRT band produced Ukraine and Belarus around the late afternoon but, thanks to computer problems, I couldn't get any audio to work from web streams so all signals got away.
All reception above was done with traditional single channel DXing on the XDR-F1HD using the GTK software. My FDM-S2 is out of action, again due to computer problems.
Good DX!

A welcome return to band 2 Es on what is showing every indication on being the worst Es season I have known. It's early days and it could all change, but May has been very disappointing so far.
The OIRT band produced Ukraine and Belarus around the late afternoon but, thanks to computer problems, I couldn't get any audio to work from web streams so all signals got away.
All reception above was done with traditional single channel DXing on the XDR-F1HD using the GTK software. My FDM-S2 is out of action, again due to computer problems.
Good DX!
