WGVA Geneva NY 1240

WGVA surfaced with a nice signal early in the night of 19 October 2008. Like WFLR 1570 and WAUB 1590 they belong to the Finger Lakes Radio Group, and thanks to Alan Bishop for once again confirming my reception of one of their stations!

WIAN Ishpeming MI 1240

About an hour later than WGVA was heard, WIAN gave a weak identification on 1240. Great work by OJ Sagdahl finding this station, and a tremendous job by Program Director Eric Tasson aka 'Ryan Erickson' verifying our reception reports is the background for this great confirmation.

WMTR Morristown NJ 1250

24 January 2009 was the date of my reception of WMTR. Chris Edwards confirmed this in a short email.

CMAP Radio Guamá, Bahía Honda 1020

Radio Guamá was heard on 2 December 2008. Today I received a nice email confirming this reception. Cuban AM radio stations certainly can be a lot more exciting than Reloj and Rebelde!

WTAG Worcester MA 580

15 January 2009 was a fine day and also the day for my first logging of WTAG - "The Voice From The Heart of the Commonwealth". This station went on the air with 100 watts on 1120 kHz on 10 May 1924.
Today I received by post this scanned & printed QSL card, an information sheet and a note from Dan Kelleher. Thanks a lot!

CB100 BBN Radio, Santiago 1000

13 March 2009 had signals from many parts of Latin America, but not many exciting ones I'm afraid. But BBN Radio on 1000 was a quite new one to me. Meaning that first time I heard "BBN Radio" on 1000 kHz I didn't figure out which station it was, after consulting only the WRTH. This time I used Google, and found that BBN Radio has a station in Santiago, Chile, on 1000 kHz.

KCFR Denver CO 1340

"KCFR is part of a larger network of 3 AM and 8 FM stations owned by Colorado Public Radio that provide either "news and information" or "classical" music. KCFR is not only the call letters for our Denver station but also a "brand name" for our news and information format. KCFR operates at a power of 1 kW, non-directional both day and night" Allen Stewart writes in his very nice email, also confirming my 25 October 2008 (KONG18) reception of this station. Thank you, Al! Thanks also to OJ Sagdahl for information.

WXCE Amery WI 1260

WXCE is another station from KONG17 - heard on 15 October 2007 to be exact. Several emails were sent from Trondheim to Amery with no result, but finally OJ Sagdahl found a person who kindly confirmed my reception. Thanks!

WNLK Norwalk CT 1350

WNLK is a great logging, and this station was heard at Kalvøya, Smøla, on 18 January 2009. Clark Burgard confirmed my reception by sending this QSL as an attachment to his email. Thanks to OJ Sagdahl as well!

WWRV New York NY 1330

On 19 January 2009 I finally managed to hear Radio Visión Cristiana Internacional on 1330 during conditions to the east coast of the USA. "We have 3 [stations on 1330]. Our main 1330 here in New jersey, our 1330 in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic or our 1330 in Cuenca, Ecuador. They all broadcast the same exact programming in the early morning hours when you made the recording." Thanks to Peter Polanco for confirming my reception and to OJ Sagdahl for the help.

KCOX Jasper TX 1350

1350 has been among the most interesting frequencies this season, and one of a number of new stations is KCOX in Jasper, Texas.
The ID sounded " ... 102.7 KTXJ" because of a relay of their FM station.
A very nice logging, and this station was on my "most wanted" list for verifications until today when they were included in my collection as QSL #15 from Texas. Thanks to OJ Sagdahl for the contact info!

WITY Danville IL 980

14 January 2009 gave me WITY on 980, and Production Director Bill Collins sent me a nice email to confirm my reception today. Thanks!
