Welcome to DX-Listeners' Club's home on the Internet.

WWJC Duluth MN 850

It was another of those moments, a moment to remember for a long time. WWJC had the frequency all to themselves for quite some time an evening during AND5. They played nonstop gospel music, fortunately inserting an ID at the right time. The peak signal levels were hard to believe. Quick answer from the GM.

KTNF St.Louis Park MN 950

KTNF – “The Voice of Minnesota” was heard well one evening on AND5 with the weather forecast and local programming. Excellent propagation to Minnesota at the time, so no big surprise in the log. The GM quickly verified my reception.

KDOW Palo Alto CA 1220

I was looking for KHTS as an unknown station became the dominant signal. When I heard LA mentioned my interest in the station increased significantly. Fortunately I didn’t have to wait long for an ID from Business Radio KDOW. The signal was fair on daytime power. Thanks to the CE for a nice verie.

As for other stations, 1280 KRVM sent a long and detailed email. And 1170 KJOC made the QSL-day near perfect with a reply from someone who regularly checks in on my solar site.

KSTE Rancho Cordova CA 650

With Greenland and CKOM trying to fence out any other stations, you wouldn’t think KSTE had any chance of getting through in the late evening. Well, they did on AND5, with a little luck. When one of the dominants faded deeply, and KSTE peaked, their ID wasn’t that hard to discern. A 2 seconds long audio clip was enough to convince the GM that I had heard them.

Other veries today: 1220 KPJC and 1240 WATN. The latter station with a long and interesting reply from someone who hadn’t received anything from DXers in years.

WLKD Minocqua WI 1570

On a few occasions during AND5 we had nice openings to Wisconsin and Minnesota. WLKD was a new acquaintance with its MYL format. An ID was heard when the signal was at its best. Thanks to the GM for a fast response.

1320 WFHR was another addition to my WI total today.

KTNN Window Rock AZ 660

I’ve always thought KTNN would be hard to catch. Not so on AND5. “The Voice of the Navajo Nation” was way over CFFR for quite a while and I really enjoyed listening to their unusual mix of country music, talk in Navajo, infomercials in English and generally positive programming.

1590 KWBG and 1210 KOKK sent nice veries too.

KDUN Reedsport OR 1030

Another Oregon station heard on its daytime power was AM 1030 KDUN, or K-dune as they use on the air. For reasons unknown this station does not get out as well as would be expected, neither on daytime nor on nighttime power. It’s very hard to hear during morning openings to the Pacific northwest with KMAS, a little further north, normally dominating the frequency.

Other QSLs: 1090 KMXA and 1080 KSLL.

KQLX Lisbon ND 890

I had trouble believing what I heard when KQLX announced their legal ID. Sure, WLS did fade conveniently, but was still there at almost the same signal level, and for non-DXers it would be hard to understand that a very unusual guest was hiding in the noise.

I was very happy to have the reception confirmed by the chief engineer.

KWON Bartlesville OK 1400

Prior to AND5 we didn’t have any luck finding Oklahoma stations. That is other than stations like 1210 KGYN and 1520 KOKC. A great morning towards the end of AND5 has just been superficially checked to get a picture of how conditions were. One of the new stations identified was KWON out of Bartlesville, a small city near the border to Kansas. The encounter with the station was very brief, in the single digit seconds range. The operations manager confirmed my reception.

Another most welcome verie was from 1030 KBUF.

KLER Orofino ID 1300

A good example of the highly unusual conditions we had one night during AND5 was the situation on AM 1300. KAPL was blasting in. Fortunately KAPL had a few deep fades allowing reception of KACI and KLER. Where was KKOL? I don’t know, it was as if a razor sharp knife had cut off all propagation to the northwestern WA.

The station quickly confirmed my reception. As did co-channel KACI.
