Still a verification finds its way to my inbox, once in a while. Today I sent a few reports, and soon I received my first response. The e-mail came from the CE of KVTA, and he kindly confirmed my reception report. KVTA was heard briefly on October 22, 2007 (KONG17) with a good signal at 11:00 UTC.

After some silent days during Easter, the first verification this week just landed in my inbox. The e-mail came from Brooke Belson, Producer and News director at KRCN in Longmont, Colorado. He kindly confirmed my October 16, 2007 reception of the station. Need I say that this is yet another logging from the KONG17 DXpedition? :-)

WSBT in South Bend IN was heard with a good signal for a short while during KONG15. For some reason I haven’t sent them a report until now, but today I finally wrote the report and mailed it away. Within a few minutes I had a nice response from Bob Montgomery at WSBT. He writes: “Congratulations on your successful reception of WSBT Radio in South Bend, Indiana, USA. Best of luck in your future DXpeditions!” Thank you, Bob!

KRTR was heard with a good signal in Kongsfjord on October 16, 2007, and I decided it was time to make a new attempt to get this station verified. It sometimes takes time to write and send a reception report, though, so my report was not sent until yesterday – by e-mail. And success! Within half an hour I had a nice response from Wayne Maria, Operations Manager at the station. He kindly confirmed my reception of KRTR.

To round off yesterday, even one more QSL arrived. Aaron Goldhammer, Assistant Program Director at ESPN 850 WKNR wrote to confirm my reception of that station. Even though KOA more or less “owns” 850 kHz in Kongsfjord along with KICY, it happens from time to time that other signals manage to get through. One of these occasions was on October 16, when WKNR was heard quite well for a short while, and with a clear identification.

Yes! Finally! This is a station I really have been waiting for. I just received an e-mail from President Kevin A. Rames, Esq., in response to a reminder I sent away earlier this evening. In his reply, he confirmed my reception of the station. WSTX was heard during a DXpedition to the Smøla archipelago on the Norwegian west coast in early September, 2007.

It is already quite a long time since KONG17 ended, and it is time to publish the first part of my personal log from that DXpedition. The same log has also been sent to the Norwegian DX News, to be published in that magazine’s 2nd issue for 2008.

The first time I heard KOA was during a DXpedition in 1988. And I have heard it numerous times since then. For some reason, though, I cannot remember having reported KOA until recently. Well, I am glad I sent a report after all these years. After a couple of days, a nice and informative e-mail arrived in my inbox, from Jan Chadwell, Chief Engineer at KOA in Denver, CO. Besides confirming my report, Mr. Chadwell tells a little about KOA’s history. He concludes his letter like this: “It will be interesting in the coming years, with IBOC digital in the US and DRM digital in most of Europe, to see the impact on AM MW and SW around the world. Radio listening as we now know it may well become a thing of the past.”
