WOAI San Antonio TX 1200 verification

Just received a short verification by e-mail from WOAI in San Antonio, Texas. This station is not so easy to hear in Southern Norway (apparently they are a much easier catch up in the Arctic north), but was heard at Lista with a weak signal in February. The reply came from Program Director Nate Lundy.

WKAQ Radio Reloj 580 verification

WKAQ in Puerto Rico is the most common station on 580 kHz in Southern Norway. Today I received a QSL as a Word attachment from Néstor Pérez Pérez, Administrador de ingeniería at the parent Univision Radio. This was again for a report from the Lista DX-pedition, but I have even heard WKAQ at my home [...]

WHUC Hudson NY 1230 verification

Another station heard at Lista replied today by e-mail: 1230 WHUC in Hudson, New York. WHUC was heard a couple of times on 1230 in February. Not the most common station on 1230, but sometimes their signal faded in. The e-mail reply came from Bill Williams.

WFIF Milford CT 1500 verification

WFIF in Milford, Connecticut, has been heard several times during the DX-peditions to Lista. It is the most common U.S. day timer station heard there.

WDCD Albany NY 1540 verification

WDCD in Albany, New York is a fairly easy station to hear in Norway as it is by far the most common station on 1540 kHz. Getting a reply from WDCD hasn’t been easy, but I was lucky and got an e-mail from Program Director Peter Kaye in my first attempt. This was again for [...]

WBIX Natick MA 1060 verification

WBIX in Natick, Massachusetts, replied by e-mail today. v/s Carl Abrams, Program Director, tells me they installed a new transmitter just a few months ago. WBIX might thus be easier to hear in Europe this coming autumn / winter.

WBAE Portland ME 1490 verification

Another station which replied by e-mail yesterday was WBAE in Portland, Maine. WBAE is one of the two stations (the other is WUSS) which is heard regularly on 1490 kHz. They are always identifying as “The Bay” and also transmits on 1400 Khz, but I have never been able to pick them up on 1400 [...]
