No QRM of adjacent 7420 kHz Iran channel on excellent SDR equipment.

Comment

powerful S=9+40dB or -35dBm.

ALBANIA. 7425, Oct 29 at 0230, R. Tirana audible but very poor; about
equal
level to 7420 Iran which has more fading but also more modulation. Should
Albania go to 49m? 6100 and 6105 appear to be clear.

7425, Oct 30 at 0244, again very poor. Is something wrong at Shijak,
low-powered instead of 100 kW? Nearby Greece maintains good signal on
higher
band, 9420. Romania on 7395 also has a much better signal than Tirana, but
it`s always superior with newer 300 kW Continentals and high-gain
antennas.

ALBANIA  7464.982 kHz heard at 20.30 UTC on Oct 30th RT German service,
but
only far away in northern Europe U.K./IRL and Scandinavia. far behind the
national borders of the central European German-speaking countries.

Selection of 7 MHz channel towards Switzerland, Austria and Germany is far
too high tonight. RT Shijak 7465 kHz transmission signal skips(!) over our
head in German speaking countries TONIGHT!
Comment: 6 MHz selection frequency usage would be the better choice
tonight.

7464.982 kHz exact frequency footprint logged at 21.01 UTC during the
Radio
Tirana English sce to GB and Ireland.

And signal strength was much reliable of S=9+20dB or -49dBm strength
measured at 21.07 UTC.

News at 2106 UT heard, "students in Africa and Nigeria item...".
21.08 UTC end of news reading.
21.08-21.11 UTC review of news paper. 21.11-21.14 UT girl singer
with Albanian flavor.
21.14 UTC "World Bank" analyse report comment on Albanians banks.
21.17-21.22 UTC Landscape report feature on "Laguna Carrera(?)", greatest
and biggest lagoon in Albania.
21.22 UTC Flute music started, into girls singer pop music with
Albanian/Balcan area flavor.
21.26:50 UTC End of English program.
Radio Tirana interval signal jingle theme started.
21.26:33 UTC sudden cut-off Shijak transmitter, midst on IS theme music.

73 wolfy

7 or 6 MHz frequency selection of Radio Tirana transmissions
into central European target zone ?

When using only a single frequency band for Radio Tirana, such a question
is
occurs now and then.

Therefore one must draw for a few days the situation of large sunspots
into
consideration.

The unnecessary skipping the 7465 kHz signal in France, Italy and
German-speaking countries can be repeated in the coming weeks,
or not even occur again ?
