WTTT Boston MA 1150


Another result of a reminder. I had quite good reception of WTTT on October 23 2005 with a clear ID as Boston Newstalk 1150 in a break in Sean Hannity show. WTTT was Progressive Talk until February 2008 when they flipped to Spanish Contemporary Christian. Bill Wightman says The recording sounds very good! I’m amazed at the reception you DX’ers get.
However I am not really convinced that Bill is authorized to verify reception of WTTT even though he had some connection with the station. He now owns North Shore Media. Thank you Bill!

WXKS Everett MA 1430

This station is nowadays Rumba 1200 in Spanish but when I heard them they had English talk. I searched on the Internet for a contact with the old folks at WXKS and found Bill Wightman former program director of WXKS. Bill kindly verified my reception report. Thank you Bill!

WOIR Homestead FL 1430

I had extremely good conditions towards Florida Jan 27 2008 but I did not realize that the Spanish speaking Radio Amanecer on 1430 was indeed WOIR until my friend Hasse Mattisson in Växjö Sweden received an email from Santiago Franco Program Producer of WOIR. Mr Franco writes "Tambien cuando lo desees nos puedes escuchar por el internet en www.radioamanecer.com pero la verdad es que me siento asombrado y feliz de que por medio del 1430a.m podamos llegar alla." Thank you Mr Franco!

KWYZ Everett WA 1230

KWYZ was heard several times in November 2007, very often at the same time as KSBN Money Talks. KWYZ carries programs in Korean so it is easily recognized. Last week Norwegian DX-er Arnstein Bue received a jpg file QSL. He adviced me to send a reminder and so I did and today I received a nice verification.

WNSW Newark NJ 1430



A lot of stations can be heard on 1430, but I have heard WNSW only once, back in 2007. I sent a letter with a CD but no reply.

He also wrote: We did receive your letter last year were you inform us how you listen to our station in Sweden and I even read the letter over the radio translate in spanish. Thank you for your nice email Mr Delgado.

KAST Astoria OR 1370

KAST is not an easy catch at my place. However Nov 10 2007 was very good for Oregon and Washington and KAST was received in a commercial break. Tom Freel Operations Manager of NNB Radio verified my reception with an email where he tells me that most reception reports are from the Arctic parts of Scandinavia and Finland. Thank you Tom!

NBC The Sound of the Nation 700


I woke up just after midnight and could not fall asleep. Turned my radio on and found two stations on 700 AM. One of them identified as NBC The Sound of the Nation in St Vincent and the Grenadines.

After a follow up I received a short mail from Mauro Paniagua operador tecnico de Radio Guarani transmitting from San Justo Argentina. I used the contact information found on their web site for my email report.

KCTC Sacramento CA 1320


When I have ESPN on 1320 it is much more common that it comes from KFNZ in Salt Lake City but on Nov 10 2007 my SDR-IQ told me it was not the usual split frequency. I stayed in tune and heard some local Sacramento advertisements in a break and today Brian Lopez verified that these were broadcast at their station ESPN 1320 so I will count this as a QSL. Thank you Brian!
