CKJR Wetaskiwin AB 1440 verification

Nice letter from station manager Tanya Gratton at CKJR arrived in my inbox this evening. In her letter she confirmed my October 16, 2005 reception of CKJR Wetaskiwin AB 1440, and also told about the station. A hard copy of the letter is in the mail, she said. One QSL yesterday,
one today. Will this continue for the rest of the week? We will have to wait and see.
Update… Continue reading CKJR Wetaskiwin AB 1440 verification

KCOW Alliance NE 1400 verification – New state

Yesterday a letter had found it's way to my mailbox. Even a
hand-written letter it was, and written by John R. Jones, sales
manager at KCOW Alliance NE. In his letter he confirmed my
October 17, 2005 reception of KCOW. This brings the number of
verified states up to 30, and it's a good reason to celebrate. :-)… Continue reading KCOW Alliance NE 1400 verification - New state

file just arrived from Dave Johnson, Director of engineering at

WHIO Dayton OH 1290 verification

Today's 3rd QSL came from Tommy Collins at WHIO. I heard a
station on October 14 2005 which I meant had to be WHIO, but the
"I" letter sounded more like "R" in my ears. Anyway, I concluded
with help from other DX-ers that it had to be WHIO, and a report
was sent. Well, now it is confirmed. :-) October 14 gave a lot
of interesting loggings, both during… Continue reading WHIO Dayton OH 1290 verification

nice to get verified… Continue reading WTAQ Green Bay WI 1360 verification

LRG202 Cumbre AM 1400 verification

A friendly e-mail from Sergio Stinco this morning verified my
October 20 2005 reception of Cumbre AM, which faded up for a short
while among several other stations. Yet another KONG13 QSL, and I
am still working with my recordings from that DX-ped. This is my
first Latin American verification for about 10 years, and I am
sure that you can understand how pleased I am with it… Continue reading LRG202 Cumbre AM 1400 verification

also heard KIXI back in 2004, but never sent a reception report
then… Continue reading KIXI Mercer Island WA 880 verification

KIPA Hilo HI 620 verification

Yesterday the first QSL for several weeks arrived in my inbox.
KIPA is one of the many Hawaiian stations I managed to pick up
during the KONG13 DXpedition in October last year, but in fact I
didn't realize that I had heard it until I began listening to some
of my recordings. It faded up for a short moment while I thought I
was listening to KGTL Homer AK. KIPA gave… Continue reading KIPA Hilo HI 620 verification
