** ALBANIA. 13625, March 28 at 1428, our first chance in A-11 to check
R. Tirana`s new schedule of English to North America: no adjacent- or
co-channel QRM at all, signal S9+10, fair with fading, and as so often
the case, modulation is muffled and so low, that the propagational
fading is louder than the station. I am able to make out parts of the
complete English schedule being announced, and it does have the new
DST timings, such as 2000, 1430 and 0030, so presumably updated and
correct altho I could not copy it completely with frequencies.
CODAR goes no higher than 13605, so R. Tirana has an absolutely clear
frequency. If only it would do its part by fully modulating. At 1451,
it`s still too low to understand anything; for a couple of minutes I
was even wondering if there was any audio at all.
Next English is at 1845 on 13640 and 7520. Inaudible here on 7520;
13640 has fair signal and better modulation now so that with some
concentration one can understand most of the news about Albania. Again
this frequency is totally free of adjacent- and co-channel QRM.
The A-11 schedule of all R. Tirana English for our further monitoring:
Mon-Sat:
1430-1500 13625
1845-1900 13640 7520
2000-2030 13640 7465 [and WWCR should be off 7465 now until *2100!]
UT Tue-Sun:
0030-0045 9860
0145-0200 7425
0230-0300 7425
0330-0400 7425
And Albanian, daily:
0630-0900 7390
2030-2200 9860 6165
2300-2430 9860 7425
Further monitoring of R. Tirana A-11 on March 28:
At 2010: 13640 good signal with music, fair modulation, and again
absolutely no interference co- or adjacent channel. 7465 for Europe
not audible, although WWCR is indeed no longer on it at this hour.
At 2101: Albanian on 9860 is fair, during music; not audible of course
on 6165 this early, for Europe, where I expect it will have co-QRM
from Chad.
UT March 29:
At 0010, Albanian speech on 9860 // 7425, both fair and with fair
modulation, no ACI or CCI.
At 0030: English on 9860; missed it
At 0145: 7425 English good signal, undermodulated; some spikes from
Brother Scare on WBCQ 7415 unless narrow selectivity used on DX-398;
also some lite clix nearby, probably spur of DentroCuban jammer
At 0230: 7425 English S9+22 on FRG-7 but too undermodulated
At 0330: 7425 English somewhat weaker, no QRM
At 1441: 13625 English too weak to copy; also there is a weak signal
on 13620 in S Asian language, but not enough to bother RT. This is
listed as IBB Kuwait in Urdu, 250 kW, 80 degrees.
13625, R. Tirana, March 30 at 1439 is slightly stronger on the meter
than adjacent 13620 IBB Kuwait, but less readable due to low
modulation despite being in English vs Urdu. Not that I understand
Urdu (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
