NBC Radio, Kingstown 700

On 4 January 2008, on my latest DXpedition to Lista in southwestern Norway, I was looking for Jamaica on 700 kHz when I realized there also was another English speaking station, not North American, on the frequency. After examining my recordings when I came home, I sent an email to Kingstown in St. Vincent & The Grenadines asking if NBC Radio was on the air. "Yes sir we are running some test on the AM for over a week so it is already up and running", Lynford Byron confirmed. My reception report was of course sent the same day, but a written confirmation didn't pop up in my inbox until today. This was after a few phone calls (Lynford Byron confirmed my reception on the phone) and several emails to Kingstown.
Thank you, Lynford, for this confirmation and for country no. 219 in my QSL collection.

This was my QSL no. 500 from Latin America!

ZP4 Radio Uno, Asunción 650

This nice radio station was heard twice during DX on the island of Smøla last September, both on the 7th and 12th. Today I received a nice email from Javier Pirovano Peña, Presidente, confirming my reception. Muchas gracias, Javier!

KMPC Los Angeles CA 1540

Mike Tosch, Contract Chief Engineer, sent me an email today to confirm my 22 October 2007 reception of KMPC "Radio Korea" 1540 AM: "I am happy to confirm your reception report of KMPC-AM1540 from Los Angeles, California, USA. Your recording was fainter than others I have heard from your “neck of the woods” but I do hear the music and English announcement of the call sign." Thanks Mike, and thanks to p.t. Cayman Island resident OJ Sagdahl for Mike's contact info.

KMZK Billings MT 1240

A tentative reception of KMZK Billings MT on 18 October 2007 isn't tentative any more, after I received this email from Herm Elenbaas just minutes ago: "Dear Amstein: You did it!!!! You caught us. Better than a 25" trout I'm sure. :) I heard a little snippet of 1240 KMZK on your clip. Good job. [...]" I've never in my life got a sea trout, so I can't compare. But this QSL was great!

KWYZ Everett WA 1230

KOIT San Francisco CA 1260

KIFW Sitka AK 1230

It was a great pleasure receiving an email from Blake Messer minutes ago. He confirmed my 16 October 2007 reception of KIFW which was a very nice catch during KONG17.

Three days later I also received a very nice email from Program Director Nancy Anthony, also confirming my reception report. Thanks a lot to both of you!

My AK no. 37, GY no. 90 and NA no. 20 on 1230.

CBE Windsor ON 1550

QSL card, two stickers and a frequency guide was received today to confirm my 24 October 2004 (KONG11) reception.

WSHY Lafayette IN 1410

Probably I spent too much time in the upper AM band during the KONG17 DXpedition - I missed a lot of stations between 910 and 1080 kHz because I used my second SDR-IQ between 1410 and 1600. This fact made it extra nice to discover a new station on 1410. Thanks to OJ Sagdahl for finding this station first, and to OJ and Bjarne for v/s and email information.
Arthur A. Angotti III, President, confirmed my 16 October 2007 reception today:
"Hello Amstein – WOW! That is the best sounding recording yet. You have indeed picked up 1410 AM which is simulcast with 95.7 FM the Wolf. Thank you for taking the time to write me and let me know that you picked up the station. I can’t believe our little AM signal is making it all the way to Norway."

KVKK Verndale MN 1070

This nice Minnesota station was heard as a pleasant surprise when I was listening for KTFI, which in another CW station on 1070. KVKK has a web page at http://www.kkradionetwork.com/

1070 is expected to be an even more exciting frequency next season with CBA gone!

KPRZ San Marcos CA 1210

Chief Engineer Craig Caston kindly confirmed my reception of KPRZ. This station was heard in Kongsfjord both on 14th and 22nd October 2007, both days at 1000 UTC, and possibly on other days as well as I'm far from having examined all my recordings by now. This was my QSL no. 40 from California. And yes, Craig, I'd appreciate to receive a QSL card as well!

V6AJ Kosrae Public Broadcasting Station, Tofol 1503

A couple of days during KONG17 we heard a station on 1503 we strongly believed was V6AJ Radio Kosrae, and tonight I got an email from Kosrae confirming my reception.

An excellent catch, my second station from Micronesia this season and one of my best QSLs ever!
