ALBANIA. 7475, Feb 14 at 0056, no signal at all from R. Tirana near end of Albanian hour to North America. Yet Romania on 7410 is S9 and 7445 BBC Dari from Woofferton is S9+25! The next broadcast is 0230 in English on 7475, so I check that at 0232: nothing. Wolfgang Büschel has been monitoring more R. Tirana SW broadcasts and concludes Shijak site has been completely off the air for a few days now (but they are experimenting with more MW, to Europe, not us of course). Altho we are advisors to RTSH, we have no info on the status or plans for SW broadcasts. (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
Nothing ON AIR, today Febr 14, around 0930-0950 UT: not SW 7390v kHz from Shijak Albania. But heard some three co-channels on mediumwave 1395 kHz: strongest 1394.974, that could be probably Fllaka RT outlet at much central Europe 'fade-out time' 0950 UT here in southern Germany. Others weaker some poor 'dim light' radio hobby players from Holland or UK ? 1394.992 and 13095.008 kHz at 0950 UT.
ARGENTINA. 6060, Feb 14 at 0112, Cuba missing, leaving very poor signal with music, RAE? And het on lo side about 6059.75, Brasil? Again, NO signal on RAE ATTW frequency which had long been varying a bit around 11710.6. There is however, a JBA carrier on 11712.0 but could be a receiver birdie. I also had zero signal around 15345v before 2400 Feb 13 nor recent afternoons, so still suspect RAE is off the air except possibly 6060, which is too weak to be of any use here. Could Argentine or other South American DXers please confirm whether or not RAE is active on any of these frequencies?? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
Checked 6060 kHz channel last night Febr 13, at 2314 UT on remote unit in central Florida, NoAMerican east coast: 6060.002 strongest VoIRIB Zahedan in Arabic at S=9+20dB level. Underneath Brazilian SRDA on 6059.763 kHz very odd fq channel. Nothing could be traced like RAE Buenos Aires at this hour so far.
