KMA Shenandoah IA 960


On November 11 I had two stations with the same ESPN -program on 960 AM. There was a slight difference in time, causing a strange echo. Around the top of the hour Regional Radio KMA in Shenandoah surfaced above the more common CFAC in Calgary with local identification and weather forecast. Today I received a short email from General Manager Mark F Eno with an attached pdf-file with a QSL-card. Thank you Mark!

Radio Universitaria Cobija Bolivia 4732

From time to time I also check the tropical bands. Stations from Brazil and Bolivia are coming in when sun sets in their part of the world. Radio Universitaria in Cobija, Pando, Bolivia on 4732 kHz quite often has a rather strong signal but most of the time it is covered by a RTTY station booming in. I made a recording last year when the RTTY made a break and sent it attached to an email and today I got a reply from Productor Creativo Charly who wrotes

....... QUE NOS HAYA ESCUCHADO, SALIMOS AL AIRE DE 6 A 9 DE LA MAÑANA Y DE 6 A 10 DE LA NOCHE HORA DE BOLIVA......

Thank you Charly!

Radio Sintonia Caracas 1420


Today I received a short mail from Radio Sintonia in Caracas. They have a nice home page at http://www.radiosintonia1420.com.ve/ . Radio Sintonia is not an easy catch in Sweden. The dominant station is Radio Marabina with a very powerful signal.

Radio Brisvaani Brisbane 1701

I heard Radio Brisvaani on 1701,027 kHz back in 2006 but I never got any reply . Today I sent a follow up to the email address mentioned on their website. I attached an audio clip and got a rapid respons: Mailbox full. I then uploaded some files on my own website, sent my message again, this time with links to these files. After just 10 minutes I got a very nice reply from Jatish Puran, Managing Director of Radio Brisvaani. He wrote "....The recording that you have sent me is indeed our station. The first bit is an ad (Sunil's bobcat) and I am attaching that file so that you can listen to it more clearly........ ". You may check it out here!

A really nice QSL. My first from Australia in the AM band! Thank you Mr Puran!

Radio Oltenia Craiova 1314

Back in October 2004 I tuned in to Radio Oltenia in Craiova, Romania, for the first time. I sent several reception reports but no luck with QSLs until today when something strange happened: In my inbox I found 9 messages posted to me back in May 2006. One of these was a nice verification in English from Mircea Pospai Editor-in-Chief of Radio Oltenia. Thank you Mircea. Listen to their opening announcement recorded from my R75 receiver October 11 2004. You can hear two interval signals. Radio Oltenia and Radio Satelor, both from Romania.
