DRS Musikwelle 531 verification

On December 28, 2008, at 22.59 UTC, the mediumwave transmitter at Beromünster, Switzerland, had their very last day on air. During the last couple of years of operation, the transmitter was used for transmitting programmes from DRS Musikwelle, programmes consisting of mainly Swiss-German traditional music which can be either fun or extremely annoying to listen [...]

WWBC Cocoa FL 1510 verification

On the very successfull October 2008 DX-pedition to Lista, we managed to hear a number of U.S. daytime stations. One of our best catches was hearing WWBC in Cocoa, Florida, on 1510 kHz. This station had not been heard in Scandinavia before. I must rush to add that WWBC was logged by  several other DX-ers [...]

LV9 Radio Salta 840 verification

I haven’t been very succesfull in hearing stations from Argentina on mediumwave, and even less successfull in getting any verifications from the few I have managed to hear. Stations from the Southern part of South America have rarely made it to our DX-pedition site at Lista. The only time I have heard stations from this [...]

WBOB Jacksonville FL 1320 verification

WBOB was a station neither of us had heard prior to the October 2008 DX pedition to Lista. On this 3 night DX-pedition, however, WBOB was the dominant station on 1320 kHz most of the time. WBOB broadcasts a news/talk/sport programming with a night time power of 5 kilowatts from Jacksonville in Florida. WBOB has [...]

CJBK London ON 1290 verification

1290 kHz is an interesting frequency where it is possible to hear a number of stations. At the October 2008 DX pedition to Lista we heard no less than 9 different stations on this frequency – quite amazing for just 3 nights of DX-ing! One of the stations with the most consistent signals these 3 [...]

WMYF Portsmouth NH 1380 verification

1380 kHz has become an interesting frequency now that CKLC in Ontario left the frequency for FM some time ago. One of the stations which made it to our radios on 1380 kHz at the October 2008 DX pedition to Lista was WMYF in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. WMYF was noted several times at this DX [...]

CFLN Goose Bay NL / CFGN Port-aux-Basques NL 1230 verification

Signals from the CFCB radio network popped up also on 1230 kHz at the October 2008 DX pedition to Lista. These signals could originate from either CFLN in Goose Bay, Labrador or from CFGN in Port-aux-Basques, Newfoundland, as both these transmitters repeats CFCB in their respective coverage area.
As far as I know, there is no [...]

CFNW Port au Choix NL 790 verification

CFNW is located in the small town of Port au Choix on the Northwestern coastline of Newfoundland. According to Wikipedia, Port au Choix (also spelled Port aux Choix) had a population of [...]
