Jazz Radio, Corse -88,7 MHz


The 1st of June-10 I had the first better e-skip conditions last season. From Turkey to France from mid-day to the evening. At 1452 I had a station with soul and jazz music in and out on 88,7MHz with french. After a few minutes  I caught a short ID from one of the two Jazz R transmitters on the island of Corse. There is one in Bastia beaming its signal south and the other in Ghisoni in the middle of the island beaming its power north-northwest, which was probably the one that I heard.
A nice letter  and verification  came today from Cédric Badet, the engineer of the station who also enclosed cov-maps and a picture of the station

CKGM Montréal QC -990kHz

 
Montreal's English-language sports station The Team 990 can 
 sometimes be heard with a  great strengths although it is on a European QRG. The most common NA station here in central Sweden is probably CBY Corner Brook NL, but when the condition are moving a little further inland they pop up frequently with their "Montreal Sports Authority, The Team   9-90AM"
I heard them in the morning  December 12th  last year with strong signals and all alone on the frequency.

WEZS Laconia NH 1350kHz




I heard the station a few times in October and December 2010 just before the top of the hour with its slogan and ID "WEZS Laconia- Oldies 1350"
 Laconia  - "City of the Lakes" with its 15000 habitants   is located between Lake Winnisquam and Winnipeasukee in the middle of the State. 
Veriesigner  Gary Hammond told me he recognized the top-of-the-hour ID voiced by Don Bishop, a west coast voice talent who records all of their station ID´s.
The station is one of the very few remaining independenly  owned and operated stations in the state.
 He has also received  a number of reception reports from Norway and Finland, often from  the last few minutes of daypower operation.

Radio Onda Cero, Chamaca - Cusco Dept. 1640kHz

A station that has been more or less common during the last weeks excelent conditions towards Peru. Torolf Johnsson was the first to find the station and there has been a long period of researching to reveal the location of the station, mostly done by Henrik Klemetz as usual !
David Torres Boza who answered my reception report (thanks Fredrik Dourén for contact info) writes that Chamaca is a small village with about  500 habitants at the altitude of 3800 meters  above sea level.
