KJDY John Day OR 1400

One of a few reception reports sent while still at KONG18 was the one to KJDY. The same evening I received a very nice email from Phil Gray, Manager, confirming my 23 October 2008 reception and giving some information on his home town: "Our town is very small, only 1885 people. The total population of our county is 7900 people scattered out over 4800 square miles, so you can see there are not many people around here. We are also very isolated. It takes 3 and a half hours to get to a city of over 20,000!"

JORF RF Radio Nippon, Yokohama 1422

During my stay at the KONG18 DXpedition in Arctic Norway I received a letter from Japan back home. RF Radio Nippon sent me a letter and a QSL card to confirm my 17 October 2006 (KONG15) reception. They also sent two stickers and my USD back.

KVAN Burbank WA 1560

"Hei, god ettermiddag", Jim Bock started his very nice email to confirm my 21 October 2008 (KONG18) reception of KVAN. He continues like this: "Alexandra Communications is located in Walla Walla, Washington. (We're in the southeastern corner of the state) Walla Walla is well-known for ultra-premium wines, sweet onions and wheat. I can honestly say it is about as far from Norway as possible, but, of course Arnstein, I invite you anytime."

This station is heard with its nice smooth jazz format quite often here in Arctic Norway.

Thank you, Jim!

Radio Centrafrique, Bangui 6100

It took almost 28 years from my first reception report to Radio Centrafrique in January 1981, heard on 5035 kHz those days, until I received a QSL from Bangui. Last time I heard them was on 13 October 2001 when they surfaced on 6100 kHz during the KONG6 DXpedition. They have a quite new web site at http://www.radiocentrafrique.org/ giving sufficient information to obtain this confirmation.

WBSM New Bedford MA 1420

A not so unusual station to be heard on 1420 during good conditions towards the east coast of the USA is WBSM, which I picked up for the first time this fall. Thanks a lot to Neal White for confirming my reception, and to OJ Sagdahl for providing his contact information.

WLIS Old Saybrook CT 1420

WLIS is a rare catch in Norway - the station was heard at Kalvøya on 1 October 2008 a few minutes after I heard WBSM, fading up in the middle of their double ID for WLIS 1420 and WMRD 1150.

Great thanks to Don DeCesare, General Manager, for the nice email and the confirmation of my reception.
