WBBR New York, 1130 kHz

There is one huge difference between 1980s and 2020s for me: I heard only a couple of AM stations from USA during 1980s. Nowadays, it is much easier if one can avoid the high noise level of urban areas. Here in Helsinki, it is practically impossible for me to hear transatlantic AM stations. Luckily, I… Continue reading WBBR New York, 1130 kHz

KSDA Guam, 9610 kHz

Guam is far away from Finland, literally on the other side of the world. No matter the distance of 10500 kilometres, I heard today KSDA with a very nice signal. Unfortunately, my Chinese skills are very limited – so I couldn’t really enjoy the program.

Today, I listened to Dazzle FM for 20 minutes on 6280 kHz. The signal strength was OK but it faded in and out very often. Usually in… Continue reading Dazzle FM, 6280 kHz

Radio Santa Rosa, 1500 kHz

Today, I heard the Peruvian Radio Santa Rosa from on 1500 kHz with a strong signal as you can hear from the audioclip. Unfortunately, the sound quality is not that great as I had to use a narrow bandwith because of the interference by European stations on 1494 and 1503. In any case, I enjoyed… Continue reading Radio Santa Rosa, 1500 kHz
