A station I just have been waiting to hear is KELA, and this finally happened on 22 October 2007. A very nice email from Steve Richert confirmed this KONG17 reception. KELA has a web site at www.kelaam.com which is quite nice.
Luis Emilio Lazo Rodríguez, Administrador General, sent me an email with a very nice letter and two wonderful photos from their studio, just to confirm my 7 September 2007 reception of Radio Lider. Radio Lider was one of 3 stations from Peru heard that fantastic night for LA DX from Smøla.
Justin Bowser, Traffic Director/IT Manager of Eureka Broadcasting Inc, sent me an email tonight with a letter attached, confirming my 22 October 2007 reception of 790 Talk Radio KWSW. This was an excellent day for NA DX in Kongsfjord, and I'm quite sure this was the first time KWSW was ever heard in Europe.
Ed Chandler, Brand Manager/Program Director, sent me a nice email with a confirmation of my 18 October 2007 of KEXO 1230 AM. He attached a station logo and included some interesting information:
A station I have heard about for almost 30 years but not heard until last year was KNBR 680 AM, which appeared in Kongsfjord under KBRW and CJOB on 18 October 2007. In addition to my confirmation the email from Chuck Bullett (W1AEK/6) also presented information of general interest:"We are currently creating a commemorative QSL card for reception reports, and I ask for your patience with these QSL requests from your colleagues within your organization.
When the QSL card is complete, it will be available to all who send an SASE, and evidence of reception.
Alternately, a pdf version will be emailed upon request."
La Bronca 1240 AM was heard briefly on 22 October 2007. And even if they are in the middle of relocating their studios and office, they took their time to send me a short email today, confirming my reception. My QSL no. 50 from Oregon.
Finally I also got a confirmation from KALL 700 Sports in Salt Lake City. Thanks a lot to Bill Riley for kindly confirming my 18 October 2007 reception of this nice radio station and for giving me my QSL no. 17 from Utah.
In some mysteriuos way a verification letter, written to me but headed for jari.korhonen@pp.inet.fi, came to me via the web master of kongsfjord.no tonight. Anyway, thanks a lot to Con Nikolis, Manager of the Greek Radio Station of Australia, for confirming my 13 October 2007 reception of Radio Club AM 1683. And thanks to webmaster OJ for forwarding my QSL.
In a very short email tonight Tim Nesmith confirmed my reception of KSUB. The station was heard in Kongsfjord on 18 October 2007. Thank you, Tim!
Another one from the South Island! It's hard to believe, but Newstalk ZB from Nelson was heard with a relatively huge signal on 1341 for more than 30 minutes on 18 October 2007.
17 October 2007 also was a great day for DX'ing New Zealand in Kongsfjord, and one of the stations nailed was 1XX One Double X in Whakatane. Even if 100 kW JOLF out of Tokyo made reception of 1XX difficult, Broadcast Engineer Chris Prouse was able to identify the announcer, the station ID jingle and a mention of a small town close by to Whakatane. Education of the young is very important for the future of DX'ing: "We have played the sound bite to some our younger staff who were very excited to learn that the station could be heard on the other side of the world." 
This 18 October 2007 (KONG17) catch from New Zealand's South Island was verified last night when I received a very nice email from Ross McRobie, General Manager of Radio Network in Christchurch.
True Talk 830 WCRN was heard as early as 2052 UTC on 4 January 2008, as one of just a few NA stations at Lista that weekend. A nice email reply came tonight from Steven Callahan, Director of Engineering, after I god his name and email address from my good friend Bjarne Mjelde. Steven writes: "With the increase of our night power, from 5,000 to 50,000 watts last year, the DX reports from Scandinavia are even more numerous than they were before".
