OAZ4Z Radio Agricultura, Lima 1590

Radio Acricultura in Lima has been a dream to hear for years, expecting this to be one of the less difficult peruvians to hear on mediumwave here in Norway. But - it has become more difficult in later years due to terrible DRM signals on nearby European frequencies. Anyway it was a great pleasure finally hearing La Peruanísima during my visit to Rolf Torvik at his paradise Kalvøya on 22 August 2008. Very early this morning I got a short email from Lima, from Franklin Gambini, Jefe de Operaciones, who attached a letter perfectly confirming my reception. Thank you Franklin, you made my day!

HJCB Radio El Sol, Barranquilla 1550

HJCB Radio El Sol 1550 was heard last week end at Smøla, and this night I received two nice emails from Jose Felipe Mesa B. - the second one about their morning program where they would mention my reception report. He even gave me his phone number to call him during the show! Thanks to Finnish DX'er Jari Savolainen for providing information about Jose Felipe Mesa B.

KHEY El Paso TX 1380

OJ Sagdahl didn't sleep as much as I did last night (he never does), and when I woke up this morning he had done a great deal of listening on his recordings from 15 October 2007 which has turned out to be a very good day for NA DX in Kongsfjord. One of the stations he found and pointed out in our web log was ESPN Radio 1380 KHEY, which gave a nice ID on top of the hour at 0300 UTC that night. Also great thanks to Paul F.
