HJAK Voz de la Patria Celestial, Barranquilla 1310

Not very exciting conditions observed the last few weeks, but on 9 March I heard Voz de la Patria Celestial on 1309,7 kilohertz - a new one to me. MW QSL #40 from Colombia.

WKJG Fort Wayne IN 1380

Another new station from 24 january was WKJG - Fort Wayne's ESPN Radio 1380. An email with a "DX letter" attached confirmed my reception. WKJG is perhaps not the most smashing call in the industry?
Thanks to Jack Didier, Director of Engineering, and to Dan Mandis.

WBZT West Palm Beach FL 1230

24 January was one of the better days this season, and a new station to me this day was 1230 WBZT - The Talk Station. It was my third Floridan on 1230. Interesting information from the confirming email: "This is an impressive catch given the fact that WBZT is having transmitter difficulty and running only 500 watts. Also, there is a second transmitter for WBZT located 55 km to the south which runs at 800 watts. The two carriers are locked together by GPS and the audio is synchronized at the midpoint".

WAUB Auburn NY 1590

WAUB is another station which had been on my list of expected loggings for a while, and this finally took place on 24 january. Thanks to Alan Bishop for confirming my reception - on a Saturday!

WMRE Charles Town WV 1550

MW QSL #900 from North America, and what a station! CE Mark Kesner writes: "Thanks. It’s neat to get some DX reports. I don’t very often since we are at a 5-6 watt power level after sundown. I did check and we did not have any malfunction so what you heard was truly QRP. Your SDR is doing a great job". I'd also mention the antenna, engineered by Rolf Torvik, and his QTH by the sea :-) This station was heard on 1 February 2009.

WUST Washington DC 1120

"New World Radio, the multicultural voice of the nation's capital" is a real daytimer, reaching our antenna at Smøla in the evening of 24 January. My reception was confirmed quickly in a short email tonight.

“KODI AM Cody Wyoming” was presented with a decent signal on the top of the hour late in the morning on 23 January. Tamara Miller was happy to confirm my reception, and also gave me my QSL no. 700 from an US MW station! Thanks, Tam!

WHCU Ithaca NY 870

Today - at last - I found News Talk 870 WHCU! The recording was made on 16 December 2008 which was a rather enjoyable day for hearing stations from the state of New York.
