** ALBANIA. R. Tirana in English checks March 31-April 1: at 1846, good on 13640, S9+15; nothing audible on // 7430 which is for Europe, and not expected to be vs daytime absorption here. Haven`t had a chance to check at 2000 yet. At 0028, good on 9345 with IS. At 0147, good on 7425; 0248 on 7425 still audible but considerably weaker. WBCQ 7415 was a bit of a problem at 0248. At 0334 in the final English broadcast, signal had weakened more but so had WBCQ. In all cases there is no co-channel QRM, or adjacent +/- 5 kHz, which is our main objective. Now if R. Tirana could only improve its modulation (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA [and non]. Unexpected DentroCuban jamming on 9545, April 1 at 0035 atop a station in Spanish. Not a Martí frequency, so probably new for Radio República. Exactly same jamming sound on 9810 where R.R. has been, but could not tell if it is still there, via Sackville. 9545 appears to have been an open frequency for R.R. to glom onto during this period. Needs more checking (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** EGYPT. Checking for R. Cairo`s new A-09 frequency for English to NAm at 2300-2430, 11590: March 31 at 2300 a poor carrier there, but not enough modulation to identify. So what else is new? Some versions of R. Cairo`s schedule failed to break out this English sesquihour from the rest of the transmission which is in Arabic (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** GREECE. 9420, VOG at 2057 March 31, music, fades, but could not detect any QRM from CVC Zambia, which has been colliding all B-season, and neither one willing to move (tho Greece had a breakdown for a while). CVC is supposed to have replaced 9420 with 5940 for A-09 but too early to be heard here before their 2200v*; can anyone confirm they are there? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SERBIA [non]. IRS still colliding with RRI on 9580 at 0030 UT April 1 check, both in English to NAm, with big SAH. Hope it doesn`t take a month to get this resolved like it did wrong language from Turkey via Canada (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** TURKEY [non]. After a month of broadcasting the wrong language on 7325 via Canada, V. of Turkey back in English, for the 0300 UT broadcast April 1, checked at 0313 giving website. Rather poor signal as fighting the dropping MUF. Despite my frequent prodding and daily monitoring, it took this long to get the correct downlink info from Ankara to Sackville. You`re welcome (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###
