** TURKEY. 9830, Wed Aug 26 at 2214, VOT S9+50! VG via UTwente but with some hum, not even tried directly, already finishing `Turkey`s Tourist Attraxions` and next into `This Day in History`, the latter voiced by the `Letterbox` guy which is what I am expecting, ranging from something Turkish in 1071y (when ``August 26`` if any, was somewhen else) to the death of Charles Lindbergh in 1974y. 2217 his canned COVID-19 PSA; 2218 music break but no `Letterbox`; 2224 the YL with `Did You Know That?` about Hatay, UNESCO Creative City of Gastronomy --- Well, the only Turkish city in the Top Ten here is #8, Gaziantep! https://lifeofdoing.com/unesco-creative-cities-of-gastronomy-foodie-destinations/ By 2230, more music fill, it`s quite clear this is another week with no Letterbox (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
