WRVA Richmond VA -1140
The 25th of January this year I had a pipeline of signals from Virginia. First I noticed WHKT -1650 with almost Q5 signals, on 1370 the pearl WSHV South Hill came thru with its slogan "Soul of the Southside". After a hint from my friend Torolf Johnsson I then found on 1140 " Your news weather and ...station, this is 50 000 watts...WRVA Richmond" A long sought-after station finally captured!
The station has a long history and was the city´s first radiostation back in 1925. Richmond, the capital of the Commonwealth of Virginia with a population 1.2 million is situated at James River which forms in the Appalachian Mountains.
The station is not an easy catch, due to CBI and WQBA that often occupies the QRG.

WPLM Plymouth MA - 1390
One early night in the end of August I heard a different voice on the frequency. I stopped scanning around when Delilah presented a love song and gave ID for the station as "WPLM and WPLM-FM". Sometimes they use their slogan "Easy 99.1" also here on 1390 when not carrying their usual business format Money Matters radio.
Located in Plymouth on the Atlantic coast come 45miles south of Boston and as my v/s Alan W.Anderson, G.M. writes: "The Pilgrims landed here in 1620, and we now proudly boast being America´s hometown" !

WIZZ Greenfield MA -1520 kHz
In the evening 12th of December 2010 the MW band opened up early enough for Daytimer hunting. On 1520 kHz there was a NOS station instead of the usual Buffalo powerhouse,WWKB. After a few minutes the c/d procedure started with some nice ID´s and promo for upcoming programs.
Greenfield is located in Pioneer Valley at the northeastern part of the state between Connecticut river and the Berkshire foothills. Has about 18000 residents and is known for its picturesque and vibrant downtown. The town is living up to its "green" name by construction of a giant 2.0MW solar farm this summer. It will supply half of the city-owned facilities with electricity.

WCMC Wildwood NJ-1230
The station has been heard a few times this season already, first the 25th of august when I caught a Top of the hour ID as "WCMC Wildwood" and two days later with " ..Jesrey shore...broadcasting from .....the capital of America and now from Cape May town on AM 12-30 - Oldies 12-30 WMID" The reason is that they simulcast with the sisterstation WMID -1340.
Wildwood/ Cape May is located on the southernmost tip of New Jersey with the Delaware bay to the west and the Atlantic Ocean to the east. The area is famous for their seaside resorts and should also be a terrific place for DXing the european MW band
