Coast 1359 came up with a very good signal on their local midnight a week ago. Very swift and detailed response today. I actually heard the station during a super NZL opening back in 2008, but couldn't get a QSL at the time. Thanks OJS for v/s info.

QSL: WJTI West Allis WI 1460
Surfaced rather unexpected on the Mount Loran beverage when conditions were rather poor. Short email tonight confirmed my reception. Thanks OJS for the email address.

QSL: KGEN Tulare CA 1370
Surprising catch peaking well with "La Ley" slogans in October. Took a while to confirm that this was really KGEN, and took a bit more, including a call to the station from Henrik Klemetz, to trigger a friendly and detailed response! Thanks Henrik for lots of work! Thanks also Nigel Pimblett for removing any doubts this was KGEN.

QSL: KKTY Douglas WY 1470
We had massive signals from Wyoming for a while on October 24, and OJS alerted about this 1 kW, Classic Hits station. Detailed email received today. KKTY belongs to Douglas Broadcasting, which also owns KKTS 1580, heard in 2013 and occasionally after that.

QSL: KFRU Columbia MO 1400
October 25 at 0000 UTC was a good spot for Nebraska and Missouri, and KFRU surfaced with a good signal at the time. I received a friendly email response this evening, together with lots of photos from the station. A couple of them here.
QSL: WREL Lexington VA 1450
A most welcome response from WREL, heard on the good east coast opening on September 20. Signal quality was not at all good, but was confirmed and they attached an MP3 of the actual announcement.

QSL: KTRH Houston TX 740
A bit of a bombshell that KTRH could be heard through the massive signal from CBX Edmonton AB, but the Mount Loran beverage antenna continues to impress us. Quick email response today. Texas # 30.
QSL: DZAS FEBC, Valenzuela PHL 702
My attempts to log and QSL Philippine stations have been random and unfocused over the decades - too bad with the excellent location I have for DX-ing PHL. Be that as it may, I got DZAS with an excellent signal during auroral conditions last week, and received a confirmation today.

QSL: 6WA ABC Local Radio. Wagin WA 558
Finally heard Western Australia on MW! First spotted by Tore Johnny BrÄtveit on this interesting opening on October 13, it had decent signal levels on top of the hour, mixing with a Thai station. Email response today. Wagin is located inland, near Perth.
The 50 degrees beverage antenna used is nowhere near suitable for hearing this part of Australia. One directed at 80-90 degrees would have been a lot more efficient. So we're planning a temporary beverage at a better direction next autumn. And Tasmania is next!

QSL: KXXJ Juneau AK 1330
After quite a few tries over several years, Ole Forr pointed me towards the person to contact for a verie. Instant response for a reception on Mount Loran today.

QSL: KWHW Altus OK 1450
KWHW surfaced briefly together with KWBE Beatrice NE on the Mount Loran beverage this morning, and sent an email to confirm this afternoon.
QSL: WOHI East Liverpool OH 1490
We do our best to entertain the fine people of Norway! So was the response from Kalen at "Pickle" when I informed that he'd been heard off the temporary 1000 meter beverage at Mt. Loran. Interestingly enough they don't even list 1490 on their home page.
Though from a separate and more detailed email the day after I did get the illustration below.

QSL: KCHA Charles City IA 1580
The second QSL yesterday came from Fabulous 1580, for a reception in October 2015. The response commented the reception as "That was VERY clear, impressive!"
