I often turn on my Yaesu 857D when I am in the Safeway parking lot waiting for them to open up on Sunday morning when I do my main grocery run for the week.
I usually listen to 7.135 to 55 MHz to long distance hams talking, but yesterday I tuned up a little further to 7.325 MHz, and I heard a Japanese broadcast with both a woman and a man speaking.
Of course I can not understand a word, but it was pretty cool.
I had the radio on LSB to listen to the other hams talking, but I switched it to FM and the Japanese broadcast sounded better, and even better yet when I switched it to am.
The only thing I am finding is a Turkish broadcast called The Voice Of Turkey listed on this hams page on that frequency via Google.

I use to listen to shortwave a lot back in the late 60s/early 70s on a Hallicrafters S125.
So anyone else use their ham setup to listen to foreign broadcasts?
