The blog is alive!

A short note just in case some of you have been wondering what is going on – or should I say NOT been going on – here. I have been busy with a lot of other non DX-related things since April or thereabout, but after a highly successful ADXS2 I am now ready to spend much of my time on the DX hobby again. I have some unreported QSLs to tell about, and I will write an update within a few days. Please stay tuned! :-)

I would also like to express a big THANK YOU to everyone participating in the ADXS2 in Kongsfjord 9. – 11. september. As said, an extremely nice event it was indeed, and it was really great to meet you all.

KUAU Haiku HI 1570 verification

It’s a long time since I reported a new verification from Hawaii, or from elsewhere, for that matter. But today is the day to wake up the blog and write a few words, thanks to Dave Footitt at KUAU!

As some of you will know, I am currently participating in this year’s KONG DXpedition – namely KONG20. Without going too much into what we have heard so far, I can tell you that KUAU’s signal is now among the strongest Hawaiians, after their transmitter upgrade.

I sent a report to the station this morning, and had a nice reply from Dave Footitt within minutes. Thank you, Dave!

But the blog wasn’t (entirely) dead …

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.

  • 750 KFQD Anchorage AK – KONG – E-mail and QSL card
  • 1110 KAGV Big Lake AK – KONG – E-mail
  • 1110 KAOI Kihei HI – KONG – E-mail
  • 1140 KSOO Sioux Falls SD – KONG – E-mail
  • 1230 WHUC Hudson NY – Lista – E-mail
  • 1250 WGAM Manchester NH – Lista – E-mail – New state
  • 1300 WFFG Marathon FL – Lista – E-mail
  • 1470 KELA Centralia WA – KONG – E-mail
  • 1510 WWZN Boston MA – Lista – E-mail
  • 1660 WFNA Charlotte NC – Lista – E-mail

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.

WFLF Pine Hills FL 540 verification

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.

KIFW Sitka AK 1230 verification

“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.

Verification updates

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 Milwaukee WI 620
  • WNAM Nenah-Menasha WI 1280
  • KRLC Clarkston WA 1350
  • CKJH Melfort SK 750

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:

  • KNRS Salt Lake City UT 570
  • KPDQ Portland OR 800
  • KUJ Walla Walla WA 1420
  • WFTL West Palm Beach FL 850

WFTL was heard at Lista in October 2008, while the three others were KONG17 loggings. Florida is a new state in my QSL collection.

Recent verifications

I have received a few more verifications since the beginning of last week. They are:

  • KJRB Spokane WA 790
  • CHRB High River AB 1140
  • WWVA Wheeling WV 1170
  • KGAL Lebanon OR 1580

In addition to the North American stations, I have also received a verification from Japan: Eagle 810 in Tokyo.
