I have heard the Radio Tirnana broadcasts but they didn't really have much appeal.

As a teenager I liked listending to Radio Moscow and their obvious propganda. I especially liked the Soviet postage stamps they would send in response to a reception report and a request for a QSL.

I also listened to Radio Moscow, before and after becoming a ham in 1958.
Working DX became my specialty, achieving “Top of the Honor Roll” in DXCC. (working every possible country).
I had many Soviet cards, many of which were propaganda, such as one of the Russian, A.S. Popov, “the Inventor of Radio”, haha. They also sent many Sputnik cards.

When I moved to Slovakia,(2005) I met a man who knew my first CZ/SK contact from 1959, OK3EA. The ham had been the pediatrician for his kids.
I visited him in a nursing home in 2008. He died two days later.
I think Albania was the only, or one of few, hardcore Marxist satellite countries. I spent very little time listening to their drivel.
