ALBANIA. Tim Hendel in Alabama says he was hearing no programming on the
Albanian hour to North America at 00-01 UT Jan 6, on 7465, or on
webcast --- just interval signal for 60 minutes.
So we make a point of checking the English broadcast at 0230 on 7470. I
find a poor carrier at 0227 but no IS or any modulation past 0230 when I
should have heard a sign-on (likewise Tim). At 0232 I realize that the
carrier I had earlier is gone; except a much weaker, just barely audible
one, probably Kuwait, where IBB started up a week ago despite Tirana.
Then at 0237 I bring up the remote receiver in Twente, Netherlands, on
7470, and get a very good signal from Deewa Radio in Pashto W&M
conversation until music at 0258 to 0304, then more talk. Not a trace of
Tirana there! I think Shijak must be completely off altho I haven't
checked how reception is at Twente before.
What happened? When resuming, Tirana might as well go back to 7465, to
avoid the IBB intrusion on 7470, unless IBB can be persuaded to get away.
Nothing on 7465, and utility on 7475. Also, WRMI is no longer on 7455 at
all, so no interference problem from it, just the RTTY.
