A short message via Facebook vas received today from R Tapejara 1530 logged on October 26, 2011 in Lemmenjoki. They wrote “…sim recebemos, e estamos muito contentes e agradecidos de levar as ondas que propagamos até ai… abraço…”. Muito obrigado!
This rare argentinian was logged in Lemmenjoki on January 25, 2010 gving and ID as “AM 1500, La Radio de la Gente” exactly as is stated in the station “logo” on the net. During a previous pedition to Lemmenjoki, some years ago, Pertti Äyräs and myself logged LRI214 R Bonaerense, Lavallol, BA also on 1500. A short email from Nuclear without a verisigner confirmed my audio clip.
WNTP became my first continental US station on 990 (excl. KIKI Honolulu). WNTP phaded up momentarily
in between CBC Radio One and CKGM. Rene’ Tetro, Director of Engineering & IT stated e.g. “I have read many articlesover the years on northern latitude DX-peditions in Finland, Norway, and Sweden. It’s something I’ve always wanted to do; maybe when I retire!” René also included a very nice pdf-QSL card of my reception. Thanks René.
After numerous unsuccessful attempts I finally managed to hear KVAK in Valdez, AK on 1230 on October 20, 2011 on
a split just below 1230. GM Laurie Praz verified my report as did Nelli Vanderburg of KVAK Staff. Thanks so much Laurie and
Nelli!
Jonathan Ellerbe, Owner/Operator verified my report on WDLX 930 from October 2011. WDLX simulcasts with WGHB Farmville 1250 the latter been logged several time during the last seasons. The stations are owned and operated by Pirate Media Group LLC and they use the slogan “Pirate Radio 1250 and 930”. Thanks Jonathan for your reply!
A short note via Facebook confirmed my report from October 2011. This frequency nowadays can give many Brazilians here in Scandinavia including Evangelizar which has become the maybe dominant Brazilian on 1060 during the last two years, together with ZYL278 R 880, Belo Horisonte, MG. Other Brazilians logged during the past years are R Tapuyo de Mossoró, RN; R Clube Itapicurú, BA and R Universitária, Garca, SP.
A really nice surprise was the logging of NQ Radio “La Superestación” on 640 on October 22 2012 during very good cx towards especially Colombia and Panamá. NQ is broadcasting simultaneously on 640 and 90.1 and both frequencies were mentioned in the ID during a brief phade-up in a mixture of R Progreso in Cuba, Actualidad 640 in Puero La Cruz and RCN (presumably in Santa Marta as the only one listed). Today I received an informative email from Fenando Pérez, Periodista y Locutor de XENQ. As far as I can remember this is my first mexican logging from the mexican state of Hidalgo. Below Fernando’s mail. Mil gracias Fernando!

“Hola Jan, soy Fernando Pérez, recibí la buena noticia que nos escuchas en Finlandia!!!. wow!. Soy periodista y locutor de esta estación de radio Xenq en el 640 am. y 90.1 Fm. Nuestra señal se emite con 50,000 watts. de potencia. Somos una de las estaciónes de radio de provincia más potentes. Ubicada en Tulancingo Hidalgo. Tulancingo es la distorsión de la palabra náhuatl Tollantzinco que signfica “lugar donde se asienta el tule” (tollan=tule, tzin=asiento y co=lugar) y su significado concuerda perfectamente con el glifo emblema de la ciudad. Este nombre, aunque no es claro, fue impuesto por un sacerdote dedicado al culto del dios Quetzalcóatl llamado Ce Ácatl Topiltzin a su paso por la ciudad, el cual, al parecer provenía de Tula. En 1521, a la llegada de los españoles, el nombre de la ciudad es conservado pero como ellos lo esuchaban, es decir, Tulancingo. Se encuentra ubicada a 2300 mts. apróx. sobre el nivel de mar. a una hora y 20 min.(90kms. apróx.) de la Cd. de México, y 30 minutos de la capital del Estado Pachuca Hidalgo. Saludos!!!”

The below email was received from Scott Karnik, News Director.
“Dear Dr. Osterholm,
I logged KGVL on October 17, 2011 in Lemmenjoki during the LEM307-pedition together with Hannu Niilekselä (HN). The station carries an Oldies format and uses a “14GVL” slogan. This became my first identified station from Texas on 1400. A fast response to my report was received from Jaan Kalmes, Program Director. Thanks Jaan!
“Jan-Erik, Terve terve!…from your Estonian Cousin Jaan. I do the Midday show on 1400KGVL and am the Program Director. It is my wife’s voice you hear doing that liner. It is fascinating that you’re able to dx us. Very Impressive!! Thank you for the air byte and photo. Jumala Rauha teile!! Jaan”McCoy” Kalmes”
