Radio Tirana

The English language service of Radio Tirana have been observed with a good condition for two days in a row.

Just happened to find them yesterday on 7465kHz - and according to their broadcast schedule, they are on the air in English at 20:00~20:30 (actually, ~20:27*) on this frequency.

Here in Japan, the overall reception condition is fair with a strong signal, without any major interference, noise, and fading.

Severe HUMAN jamming :-(

I could not afford at all to spend time for updating this blog in the past several months - as too much things had been going on. I will TRY to improve this situation and leave as many posts as possible at regular basis.

I was successful to wake up at 04:50 (JST (Japan Standard Time) - 19:50 UTC) in this morning and immediately went into my shack for a weekend radio monitoring. Following stations were observed here in Japan as a result of concentrating on sweeping the 49mb for an hour.

7390 R.Belarus (Belarus, EG) 8/1, 19:58~20:12, s/24332
7465 R.Tirana (Albania, EG) 8/1, 20:13~20:27*, s/34333
7450 R.Mekedonia (Greece, GK) 8/1, 20:28~21:03, s/33333

My 3-year-old daughter woke up at 06:00 JST (=21:00 UTC) and run into here to see me. I was forced to give up continuing my radio monitoring, as she was just like a strong human jamming. My ALA-1530S+ is capable for efficiently getting rid of noise and interference with a right angle - but even this excellent antenna does not work at all for her. I would like anyone reading this blog to let me know how to effectively and efficiently shut her mouth out while I am on the radio monitoring :-)
