CHRB High River AB 1140

The first verification from the latest DX-pedititon to Lista (November 2009) came from CHRB in High River, Alberta. CHRB had a very good signal several mornings during our stay and could even be heard well into the afternoon untill around 15.00 local time (14.00 UTC).

DX-pedition to Lista, November 26-30, 2009

Before setting out for this season’s only DX-pedition to Lista at the end of November, I had really high hope for the best DX-pedition to Lista ever!

When reviewing my recordings I was surprised to hear an ad and an identification from KTOE in Mankato, Minnesota on [...]
