WWPR Bradenton FL 1490 - verification

This station was captured during PAX63 on October 10, 2006 in Parkalompolo. This was a very good day for many east coast stations on PAX63 since stations like WIRY-1340, WFOY-1240, WOON-1240, WJOY-1230, WHUC-1230 and WMOG-1490 ect. were all audible in this same morning. WWPR verified with e-mail in 6 hours.
The v/s told: "I listened to your MP3, and you are correct -- you were indeed listening to 1490 WWPR - Bradenton,Sarasota, Tampa Bay! You heard our typical stationbreak as announced by "Big Ed" Edwards."
RS, thank you very much for helping me identifying this one!

KOVE Lander WY 1330 - verification

KOVE's owner sent me a long and informative e-mail along the verification in 6 hours. KOVE was heard during the LEM234 on November 7, 2006 between 5.44-6.01 UTC. The station signed off at 11.00 pm MST and I heard the sign off -announcement followed by the US National Anthem. KOVE identified as "KOVE - Country 13-30".
The v/s wrote: "I started hanging around at this radio station when I was in high school and they finally gave me a job, and here we are many years later and my wife and I own KOVE along with our sister FM station KDLY, which signed on in 1975."

KZXR Prosser WA 1310 - verification

KZXR is often heard but it has been very difficult to get QSL from the station. Thanks to the current v/s info from JOB in Sweden I finally received a polite and nice e-mail verification from the station. Last time I captured KZXR was during LEM234 in November this year with loud and clear reception several times. I picked up KZXR for the first time in October 2004 during LEM 196 with RS.
Tnx JOB!

King's Village - Waiting for Santa!

Indeed we got 2 cm snow in Southern Finland, so there is possibility for Santa to come here from the Finnish Lapland – which undoubtedly is the home of Santa Claus.
DXing is not the number one item during this time of the year and the conditions have been also worst for some time after the latest spots and coronal holes. Conditions should improve in next week, I think there are some good openings in 25-29 Dec and during the New Year before the next CH-based disturbance in the beginning of 2007.

With this picture (at around the December solstice of the Sun – actually the solstice is at 0022ut Dec 22nd) of the 1 cm snow and Our Friend Sun at Kymi River, East of the King s Village dx-qth I wish all the best for everyone for the Christmas Season & good DXing in 2007!

WBIX Natick MA 1060 - verification

WBIX was audible during LEM234 November 8, 2006 for about an hour. The signal was very clear and loud every now and then. The station identified as "AM 10-60 WBIX - The Business Station" and it carried USA Radio Network news. Many local ads were heard and promos for "Silver Talks Money" and "PM Show" programs as well. Never heard this one before. E-mail QSL in a couple of hours.

CISL Richmond BC 650 -verification

The station identified "6-50 C-Isle" and played oldies like Kenny Rogers song "You are So Beautiful". This was actually the first time ever I identify CISL in spite of many tries during the past 30 years! Nice e-mail QSL came in three hours.

KDIO Ortonville MN 1350 - verification

I heard KDIO during LEM234 twice. It played fine Country music and had ABC news on the hour. The reception was clear and quite loud as well and the v/s verified my report: "I will confirm that your audio did have the "KDIO" legal ID in it."
Thanks BH for v/s info.

KPRZ San Marcos CA 1210 - verification

KPRZ sent the first real "old fashioned QSL letter" for a long time. The letter contained nice colourful diploma, coverage map, stickers and lot of information. I picked up KPRZ on November 9, 2006 and the station identified as "San Diego's Christian Talk 12-10 KPRZ".

WCCM Haverhill MA 1490 - verification

I picked up WCCM during PAX63 in October this year. The station faded in and out with WBAE Portland, ME and run ESPN Sport. Nice e-mail in 3 weeks. The v/s wished Happy Holidays and was wondering how is it possible to get 1000 verifications from the distant radio stations...
