QSL: KVMX Olivehurst CA 890

Another station spotted by OJS was the Spanish programming KVMX La Ranchera, excellent signal a few days ago with a full-hour call letter ID including their 104.7 FM in Sacramento. Very friendly response today.

QSL: KSMM Liberal, KS 1470

During the KONG35 DX-pedition in October, OJ Sagdahl spotted a most unusual station on 1470: "We're always playing what you wanna hear: Southwest Kansas' Superhits", which turned out to be KSMM Liberal, simulcasting 95.5 FM. Friendly Facebook reponse this afternoon, and they wanted to know how to pronounce my name for tomorrow's morning show...

QSL: NHK-2 Okinawa, Miyakojima relay, 1602

I was quite surprised to hear this Okinawa NHK-2 station on 1602. Most welcome QSL & friendly letter received today. This relay is listed Miyakojima, actually closer to Taiwan than the main Okinawa island. 100 watts! Likely one of my best Japanese catches to date - if not the best.

QSL: FBC Radio Fiji One, Nauru 558

We have been hunting this station from the start of the season, but a combination of local noise and the Korean station have made reception impossible. Until now. Fair signal levels for a few minutes. A friendly email from the Program Director on GoldFM-990 confirmed the reception. Both of new AM stations from Fiji heard and confirmed this season!

QSL: Coast NZ, Christchurch 1593

South Island stations surfaced well for half an hour or so on October 20, and I spent some time on 1593  where Coast NZ was fighting hard with the strong NHK-2 stations. I did get a commercial and a couple of  music details for a tentative report, and received a confirmation late yesterday. The music log matched perfectly. Pays off to be a Linda Ronstadt fan! 2.5 kW travelled 16,380 km.

The ColibriNANO - Revised Article

After having used the ColibriNANO SDR a few months, it was time to revise the paper I wrote this summer. It's available here, or from the menu to the right.

A Companion For The MW DX-er? The Airspy R2 + Spyverter R2

I've had this receiver for more than four months, but I needed some time to explore if it has potential for the MW DX-er. To read more, click the link on the right side, or here.

QSL: KIXZ Amarillo TX 940

This quite unusual Texan was heard in early October, email response this evening.

QSL: All India Radio Jodhpur 531, Bengaluru 612, Varanasi 1242, Panaji 1287

Bulk reporting results in bulk QSL-ing - sort of. Four QSLs  in one came in my mailbox today. Heard during very auroral conditions in September.

QSL: CIVH Vanderhoof BC, 1340

CIVH Valley Country has been high on my wish list for years. Last weekend it was suddenly there with a short liner between two country songs. And now I'm probably going to hear it weekly! Friendly email confirmed my reception, thanks Hans for the email address. Vanderhoof is in British Columbia's northern interior, not far from Prince George.

British Columbia #35, graveyard channel #275.
