KONG-HQ December Logs

 Apart from the first couple of days, December was less than spectacular. Lots of common stations are listed, even more were heard.

No new logs this period, but a few noteworthy ones:

KDDR Oates ND 1220 isn't heard often, but managed to break through the WHKW/CJRB barrier on December 3rd. First time I heard KDDR was in 2009 and it's possibly my only reception until now.

WNAM Neenah-Menasha WI 1280 was common until their close-down at Midnight CST on December 31st. They ran test transmissions the two preceeding nights and on the last one I heard them quite well.

CFRW Winnipeg MB 1290 was a very common station until it was shut down by Bell Media in June 2023. The license didn't go away though, and the station was bought by Akash Broadcasting last year. Heard testing with presumed full power (10 kW) on December 17th. It will probably be a new dominant on 1290.

KFOO Riverside CA 1440 was heard on December 1st, the first (and last) time I heard them was in March 2020.

And the pdf log is here.

Hi Bjarne, condx her in Anchorage have been a sorry state as well with the solar activity. Probably one of the least productive winter dx seasons in awhile. That coupled with one of the longest stretches of below-zero temps and extreme north winds have wrecked havoc on the antennas, including the aufeis from the local watershed which has gobbled up my feedlines! Here's hoping Spring is a little calmer and less noisy - WL7NO.
