CBT Grand Falls NL 540 verification

Now that Belgium has left and Hungary doesn’t use the frequency at night, 540 kHz has become a frequency opening up for Transatlantic DX. During the October 2008 DX-pedition to Lista, 3 stations were heard on this frequencies: CBT in Grand Falls, Newfoundland, CBGA1 in New Carlisle, Québec and WFLF in Pine Hills, Florida. Of [...]

CBGA1 New Carlisle QC 540 verification

One of many new stations (well, new to me at least) which popped up at Lista in October 2008 was CBGA1 in New Carlisle, Québec, on 540 kHz.

One of the biggest surprises of the fabulous October 2008 DX-pedition to Lista, was logging the signal of Radio Satélite in La Ceiba, Honduras, on 900 kHz. Radio Satélite was a station we had never heard about, much less a station we thought it was possible hearing. Their signal, however, faded up one morning [...]
