TJ's personal DX website and blog
Published on May 1, 2010
After my last posting I have continued working on my various recordings. I have had some reponses, but (of course) not as many as I would prefer. These are the verifications received, as usual sorted by frequency. E-mail, if not stated otherwise.

OK, again a long time of silence, but it is time to break it by presenting the list of received verifications here since February 1st. As usual I sort the stations by frequency. Stations are KONG loggings unless mentioned.

OK, it is time to summarize the verifications received during January. Not many, but at least one representing a new state for me – Arkansas.
New verifications in January continued »

These are the verifications I received during the last weeks of 2009. All stations verified via e-mail, and one of them also sent a QSL card in addition. Listening QTH in parenthesis.

It's a shame, but the no new posts have been published to this blog since February 9 this year. The situation is, I have had my focus on other things than DX-ing for a while.
As we all know; a blog without new content soon becomes a blog without readers. A blog without readers is a dead blog. And who need a dead blog? Nobody.
I began some weeks ago to "upgrade" this website with a new look and some new functionality, which I hope you all will find useful.
And – I have in fact received a few verifications since I published something here in February.
Then we should be up to the current status. But be prepared for more! :-) I returned home from a most successful DXpedition to Kongsfjord a few days ago, and I have just begun investigating my recordings from that DXpedition. Even though I guess most of you already have read the weblog from KONG19, I definitely recommend those who haven't read it to take a look.

One of the rarer catches, one could say. "540 WFLA" (WFLF) was heard on October 25, 2008, during a DXpedition to Lista in south-western Norway. A nice e-mail received last week confirmed my reception of the station.

"That's us". This is the text in an e-mail I just received from Blake Messer at KIFW, in response to a follow-up report. The station was heard during KONG17.

Well … It is now 2 – TWO – months since my previous update here. Shame on me!
OK, a few verifications have arrived here recently.
December brought four verifications:
WTMJ honoured me with a friendly letter and a nice T-shirt. The other three verifications were all e-mail responses. WNAM was in response to a KONG15 logging, while the others were heard during KONG17.
So far in January I have received these e-mail verifications:
WFTL was heard at Lista in October 2008, while the three others were KONG17 loggings. Florida is a new state in my QSL collection.

QSL no. 10 so far this month just arrived. In an e-mail, Doug McDowell kindly confirmed my October 23, 2007 (KONG17) reception of KCKW. Thank you, Doug.

If CJYQ is frequently heard in Scandinavia, KZZN in Littlefield TX is not. I heard KZZN briefly with a clear station ID on October 17, 2004 (KONG10), while another stronger station on the frequency kept silent for a couple of seconds. In an e-mail this evening, Monte Spearman kindly confirmed my reception of KZZN. Thank you, Monte.

CJYQ was the first North American medium wave station that I ever heard. It was in the spring of 1983, and CJYQ was a very frequent guest in our loudspeakers at that time. I sent several reception reports, but I never saw a response from the station.
Things have changed since then. The station is no longer the dominant station on its frequency in our corner of the world, although it can still be heard quite often by those who have opportunities to listen regularly. I have no such opportunities for the time being, but I happened to pick up CJYQ on a DXpedition to Lista in October this year. A new report was sent, and this time I received a reply. Brenda Silk sent me a nice e-mail where she confirmed my October 24, 2008 reception of CJYQ Radio Newfoundland. Thank you very much, Brenda!

In a brief but nice e-mail this evening, GM Rick Green confirmed my October 25, 2006 (KONG15) reception of WNDE. The station was heard just a couple of minutes before I had to turn off my radio receivers to prepare for the return home.

Third and final verification yesterday arrived right before midnight, our local time. Then an e-mail dropped in from Tom Koza, CE for KTNQ and several other stations. In the e-mail, he kindly confirmed my October 15, 2007 (KONG17) reception of the station, and added some information about the transmitters and antennas in use. Thank you, Tom.

And there arrived the second verification for today! While examining some of my SDR-IQ recordings from October 15, 2007 (KONG17) I realized that there was more than one English-speaking station on 760. This was right after midnight, UTC, and I couldn't really think about any possible candidate for the second signal. WJR was there as usual, of course. OK, some minutes later there was a clear ID for KCCV, a station I hadn't heard about, and which couldn't be found in the KOJE list. I sent a report, and a few minutes ago I received a friendly e-mail from Eben Fowler, Director for broadcast operations at Bott Radio Network. He confirmed my reception of the station. My KS station no. 2. Thank you, Eben.
