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: WJNJ Jacksonville FL 1320

Heard at Mount Loran with a good signal on November 1, quick and friendly email response tonight.


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!"
