According to 'A06 - Shijak & Fllaka & Satellite' file that I sent to you,

(Drita Cico, ARTV-Head of Monitoring Center, RADIO TIRANA Mar 28)
We had interruption of power again on March 31 to April 2nd, because of
unpaid electricity.
SUMMARY ROUNDUP
March 28th:
Around 1759-1800 UT noted RT interval signal on both 1458 and 7465 kHz,
then into German language section program. Very powerful signals on both
channels, S=9 and more. Feature about Albanian comedians.
Huge signals.
English section at 1845-1900 UT noted today March 28th loud and clear on
both channels 7465 and - a little stronger - on 9920 kHz.
No co-channel or adjacent channel interference AT ALL. Suberb frequency
selection!
TX 7465 on air between 1900 and 19.01:20 UT, at latter then disappeared.
TX 9920 started with French service program at 1902 UT.
Audio on German and French service of much, much better quality than the
'satellite like' distorted audio in the English service. There are
different feeder line (microwave / satellite??) ways from Tirana
broadcasting house to Shijak tx site ???
Acc to a recent mail from Mrs. Drita Cico, RT's Italian sce is scheduled
at 1931-1959 UT on 5995 kHz, Mon-Sat only.
"(in fact scheduled 1931-1959 UTC- as attached A06ALR 24 March), "
5995 kHz I guess only RTM Bamako Mali in French could be heard in 1900-
1930 UT time segment, tiny S=1-2 signal co-channel.
R Tirana's Italian service, formerly registered at 1901-1930 UT, now
scheduled 1931-1959 UT, missed, only tiny RTM Bamako in French noted on
same channel, but RT came on air
with CRASH start into Italian program at 19.25:20 UT !!!!
5995 ended at 1928 UT with interval signal of R Tirana. S=9 signal in
Germany.
5995 RT Shijak tx switched off at 19.33:15 UT.
6205 kHz totally covered by 500 kW IRIB Tehran's English service
powerhouse til 2027 UT.
Shijak 6205 kHz could be noted HARDLY underneath.
But Iran stopped using 6205 kHz channel at 2027 UT, and R Tirana interval
signal could be heard at 2028-2030 UT.
6205 2030 UT R Tirana in Albanian, S=8-9, in peaks S=9 +10 dB.
RT 7465 English at 2130-2200 UT couldn't be traced !!!!
