XEVOZ Radio Tráfico 1590

XEVOZ Radio Tráfico in México City was a rather unexpected catch at Lista in November 2007. The station came through with pretty good quality one morning on 1590 kHz announcing the time every minute and giving traffic reports from Mexico every third minute. Ing. Miguel Angel Barrientos V., who is their Director de Ingeniería y [...]

930 CFBC St. John NB

930 kHz was also an interesting frequency during the November 2007 DX pedition to Lista and I managed to hear 2 stations which were new to me: WBEN in Buffalo, New York, and CFBC in St. John, New Brunswick. The dominant station on this frequency is CJYQ in St. John’s, Newfoundland, but during these 3 [...]

HJJX RCN Radio Bogotá 770

Ana Maria Davila, Asistente Nacional de Gerencia Producción at RCN Radio in Bogotá, sent me an e-mail confirming my reception of HJJX RCN Radio on 770 kHz. RCN is quite possibly the Colombian station which can be heard most often and with the best signal at my place and can be heard even if conditions [...]

WBAP Fort Worth TX 820

820 kHz was one of the most interesting frequencies on the November 2007 DX pedition to Lista. Normally, only Radio Paradise in St.Kitts-Nevis can be heard on this frequency with their (very boring) overnight TBN programming. During the 3 nights we were at Lista, several other stations both from Latin America and North America were [...]

WSB Atlanta GA 750

WSB in Atlanta, Georgia, was another November 2007 catch at Lista. The station faded up briefly on top of the hour one morning on its frequency 750 kHz beating the signal of dominant station CBGY in Newfoundland. WSB is not an easy catch at Lista, as CBGY usually has a very strong signal.

Program Director [...]

WYLL Chicago IL 1160

Another Chicago station heard at Lista in November 2007 was WYLL on 1160 kHz. WYLL is the dominant North American station on the channel and was heard with a good signal at times. There was quite a lot of interference from Radio Tay in Scotland on nearby 1161 kHz though as Scottish stations are incredibly [...]

WWVA Wheeling WV 1170

WWVA “News Radio 1170″ located in Wheeling, West Virginia, had a good signal at times on 1170 kHz during the morning on November 12 at Lista. Their signal had to fight several UK stations on the same frequency, notably Magic 1170 in Newcastle, but had a decent strength at times.
News Director Paul Morgan replied immediately [...]

Radio 4VEH 840

Catching Radio 4VEH on 840 kHz was one of the highlights of the November 2007 DX pedition to Lista. Although Radio 4VEH has been logged quite frequently in Scandinavia during the last year, it was still a pleasant surprise to catch the signal of this station. This is the first time I have [...]

WBBM Chicago IL 780

Several stations from Chicago came through quite well during the November 2007 DX pedition to Lista beating more commonly heard stations located further east. One of these stations was WBBM on 780 kHz which was heard with an equally good signal strength as the normally very dominant CFDR in Nova Scotia.
Ron Gleason, Director of [...]

CJYE Oakville ON 1250

Another Ontario station logged on the November 2007 DX pedition to Lista was CJYE in Oakville on 1250 kHz. The station airs a Christian music and talk format branded as “Joy 12-50″. Another slogan used is “Christian radio for Southern Ontario”.
Brian Smith at the Ontario DX Association sent me a full data QSL card [...]

WBEN Buffalo NY 930

One of the stations which turned up rather unexpectedly on the November 2007 DX pedition to Lista was WBEN in Buffalo, New York. Their frequency, 930 kHz, is usually dominated by 2 Canadian stations, CJYQ in Newfoundland and CFBC in New Brunswick. On this DX pedition we enjoyed good conditions towards the Great Lakes though, [...]

WJR Detroit MI 760

WJR in Detroit, Michigan, was the dominant station all 3 nights on 760 kHz on Lista in November 2007, and had a very good signal at times. WJR is the most commonly heard North American station on this frequency, but I have not heard them untill this DX pedition. WJR is a talk station branding [...]

COPE Menorca 1134

It’s been years since I last sent a reception report to a station in Spain. I have given priorities to stations in North America, Central America and South America instead. Spain is an interesting DX target though with many stations on the AM band. Spain seems to be one of only 2 European countries (the [...]

KFAN Minneapolis MN 1130

1130 kHz is a frequency which is usually completely dominated by 1 North American radio station in Southern Norway: WBBR in New York with their “Bloomberg Radio” programming. Last November, however, KFAN in Minneapolis came through briefly one morning on Lista with ESPN programming. Luckily, some local promotions were noted as well, so I could [...]
