Village 900 Interview

A couple of days ago I was contacted by Sean Owen CKMO Village 900. He wanted to interview me for an article in the stations quarterly magazine/newsletter The Villager. I agreed and earlier this evening Sean sent an email with about 15 questions ranging from why I got into the hobby to describing my receivers and talking about this blog. A nice experience and hopefully I will get a copy of the article.

1360 KHNC Johnstown CO

Finally I got this one! Danette Golden Promotions Director/Host emailed a brief verification of my PAX63 reception report. I am not sure, but I think this is the first verification sent to a Swedish DX-er.
I heard the station the first time(first logging in Sweden) during PAX47, but all my attempts to get a verification from the station failed.

1280 WWTC Minneapolis MN

CE Scott Todd sent a letter with a QSL-card, a program schedule and a coverage map. This was verification for my PAX63 reception report so it took a while.
