Mr. Erdogan – the president of Turkey has revoked 3213 national ham radio licenses. The HF radio in Turkey is now silent. No transmissions are allowed.

Can anyone confirm this report?

Help me, Erdoğan Kenobi, you're my only hope!

Seriously, the only other source I can find online links back to the yaesuft817.com page.

I understand that the above report has been (at least for the moment) debunked.

See http://www.dxcoffee.com/eng/2016/update-on-ham-radio-operation-in-turkey/

On Edit: The original source has now run a correction.

We’re happy to confirm that this news has been disproved – we apologise for the false information given but apparently local hams from Istanbul city were interdicted from transmitting until yesterday
