Hello Bekir,

That sounds like a great idea you have there. Regarding propagation & which
bands to use to talk to a specific part of the world, I recommend that you
periodically look at this link:

http://www.dxwatch.com/dxsd.php?f=1298

This is a list of DX spots between Turkey and the US, indicating time and
band of stations in these countries hearing/working each other. From the
home page (www.dxwatch.com) you can make "filters" for other areas of the
world (click on "create your filter"). By checking this list at different
times of the day, several days a week, you will get an idea of which band
and which time will be best for a given area. There will be variations of
course due to solar conditions and many other variables, but it will help
give you a rough idea of band-time-area.
