Lately, the reception condition of Radio Tirana's English for Europe
remains the same.At 1845 UTC 7465 kHz is SINPO 45444, but reception on
9920 is worse - SINPO 43443. There is adjacent interference from BBC
Cyprus on 9915 and Iran (much weaker) on 9925 kHz.
Reception would be greatly improved if the freq was changed to 9940 kHz
(also for the French at 1900 UTC). There will be adjacent interference
from Iran on 9935 kHz, but Iran is beamed towards South Europe
(Spain/Portugal) and is only moderate strength here. 9945 kHz is clear. (A
Ukrainian tx is listed with HFCC for 9945, but in fact operates only on
7490 kHz.) Listeners should get a good reception by adjusting their
receivers slightly to 9942 which will remove the Iran signal.
What do you think about this? Maybe the other monitors could check and
comment.
Another problem - the sound level from the studio. The opening annts are
fine, but when the nx programme begins, the sound reduces to about 20% and
it is not so easy to hear. This is the case for the last 4 days of
listening. Please could you speak to the studio technicians and ask them
to try and correct this problem?
