QSL Kystradio Sør (Florø Radio) 2187.5 kHz

April 3, 2023 / Peter Reuderink / 0 Comments

I already made a post about the QSL from Kystradio Nord, Bodoe, Norway. Earlier this year I also received a QSL card from Kystradio Sør (Coastal Radio South) from Sola in the southern part of Norway. It was broadcasting a DSC message.
In the past the station in Sola was called “Rogaland Radio”. But with the merger of the operations of Tjome Radio, Floro Radio and Rogaland Radio, the name was changed to Kystradio Sør. Actually, the TX location I received was located in Florø. Kystradio Sør operates with 24 operators, mainly on VHF and MF. Everything south of 65N is the responsibility of Kystradio Sør, everything north of it is for Kystradio Nord. Both stations are operated by Telenor and are not owned by the government.

QSL Neverland Radio 1035 AM

April 2, 2023 / Peter Reuderink / 0 Comments

I received a polite email QSL Neverland Radio 1035 AM. With 100 Watt this LPAM (Low Power AM) station broadcasts from the city of Venlo, in the province of Limburg in The Netherlands. That is about 120 km SE from my location, and during day time their signal strength was low but without interference.
I couldn’t find a website for this station, but I found a YouTube channel on which they seem to run a live video when they are on the air. I received them between 14:21 – 15:00 h Dutch local time. According to MWLIST they are on air Saturdays only between 10 – 14 h UTC.

QSL Radio Z100 Milano 1350 kHz

April 1, 2023 / Peter Reuderink / 7 Comments

I received a polite email as QSL Radio Z100 Milano 1350 kHz. The station operates with 1 kW from Villa Estense, a location near Milano, Italy. TWR Armenia is off air late in the evening, and Z100 came in quite strong, without interference. Apparently they also have a transmitter at 990 kHz, but here SER Bilbao is dominant.

QSL NDB MF Halmstad 421 kHz

March 27, 2023 / Peter Reuderink / 0 Comments

The NDB MF in Halmstad on 421 kHz is located in south Sweden. A NDB, or Non Directional Beacon, is used for navigational purposes. Typically they are fairly low power. This one is about 725 km in NE direction from my QTH.
I sent a report plus audio clip and self-made QSL card to ats.halmstad@lfv.se. To my surprise I got a reply by regular mail, which is always nice.
Halmstad served as an air force base until 1961. Today it is a municipal airport with 800-1300 aircraft movements per year. It still supports the military operations from Halmstad as you can see on the QSL. And of course the jet fighter shown is a Swedish built SAAB Gripen!

QSL 1134AM Ooijen

March 25, 2023 / Peter Reuderink / 0 Comments

1134 AM is another LPAM (low power AM) station that you can hear from the Netherlands. It operates from the village of Ooijen, about 51 kilometers SW of my QTH. Their beautiful e-QSL gives a good impression of the pretty scenery in and around Ooijen.
As they say themselves on their website www.1134am.nl :
“Of course Am is no longer of this time, but what could be more fun to receive your favorite music on your own radio instead of your telephone or fm and dab. Am brings that little bit more atmosphere for real enthusiasts and can be received from great distances“
I couldn’t agree more!

QSL Bodoe Radio 2187.5 kHz

March 19, 2023 / Peter Reuderink / 1 Comment

Not all Maritime stations respond to reception reports. But those who do might send beautiful (e-)QSL cards, like this one from Bodoe Radio, Norwegian Coastal Radio North. In Norway there are only two centres left, north and south, that coordinate maritime radio transmissions. The Floro, Alesund, Tjome stations of the past are no more. But this beautiful QSL for my reception of Bodoe radio DCS on 2187.5 kHz makes up for that. Big compliments to the folks at Norwegian Coastal Radio North for providing this service to us DX folks!

QSL VOCM St. John’s 590 kHz

March 18, 2023 / Peter Reuderink / 2 Comments

VOCM is one of the Transatlantic mediumwave stations from Canada that can be heard frequently. But I never managed to get a QSL from them. That changed this year when Loren Butler was so kind to send me a confirmation of my reception of their “Open Line” program.

QSL Regional Radio Umbria 1440 kHz

March 13, 2023 / Peter Reuderink / 0 Comments

Regional Radio is a station making programs for the Umbria region in Italy. It uses a few low power mediumwave transmitters to do so. I got a very nice fully detailed e-QSL from Regional Radio following reception of their 400 W transmitter on 1440 kHz, a frequency that is often dominated by Radio 208 from Copenhagen.
Learn more about Regional Radio on their website.

QSL Charleston Radio International 5140 kHz

March 12, 2023 / Peter Reuderink / 0 Comments

Radio Charleston International is probably one of the easiest identifiable stations on the bands. As far as I know this “free radio” station from Berlin, Germany, only broadcasts music from the pre-WWII era, predominantly from from the “roaring twenties”.
For my report to charlestonradiointernal@yahoo.com I received this e-QSL:

QSL Columbia AM 1395 kHz

March 11, 2023 / Peter Reuderink / 0 Comments

Columbia AM is a low power AM (LPAM) station broadcasting from Aalst in the Netherlands. There are a few towns with the name Aalst, but this is the one at 51.78N 5.12E, along the river “Afgedamde Maas”. Beautiful area for cycling, my other big hobby! Aalst is only 37 kilometers SE from here, but particularly at night there is sometimes interference from Radio Seabreeze, another LPAM.
I received an e-QSL from Columbia AM for my report to studio@columbia-am.nl. Columbia AM has a long history as radio pirate. You can read more about that on their website.
