WTSN Dover NH -1270
The 24th of October 2011 was a exciting day with many signals especially from Florida but also the whole eastern coast up to the Canadian border. Only Delaware was missing from the costal states that was heard this night.
The station peaked at 07UT with a nice ID as "wtsnam1270.com - Number One for News, Talk and Sports"
Dover is a city with population of 30 000 , nicknamed as "The Garrison City". A Garrison is style of house, typically two stories with the second-story overhanging in the front. Perhaps a legacy of the Swedish settlers as the same types of houses but smaller can be found in Dalarna and Varmland,Sweden?

WHIO Dayton OH -1290
One of my favorite frequency that often acts as a bubbling pot of stations. This time, the morning of New Years Eve 2011 I caught an ID as "AM 12-90 and now 95.7 FM Newstalk Radio WHIO - The Home of Fox News" My v/s Nick Roberts tells that they have 5000Watts directional to the north at nights, the reason that the signals reach us well here in Sweden.
Dayton, the "Gem City" is located in the south of Ohio with about 140 000 habitants. Known for Aerospace and Defense Industry. The Wright Brothers was born here, Orville and Willbur, who invented and build the first successful aeroplane
WOND Pleasantville NJ -1400
The most regular one besides CBG on 1400 here in Möklinta during wintertime. Located almost at the costal line the signals has a freeway to the northern Europe. My v/s Greg Maiuro writes: "I have no understanding of how airwaves travel, but I´m sure they decided Sweden is a nice place to visit!"

WDFN Detroit MI -1130
A frequency that 99 times of 100 are occupied by WBBR in my QTH. At last I had luck the 6th of January 2011 when WBBR faded enough to let a top of the hour ID slide thru as "WDFN -WDFN Detroit - The Fan"
Detroit - The Motor City , is also the birthplace for Motown Records.
As WDFN is a sports station my veriesigner Michael McCoy writes in his letter: "I have 3 girls as well ages 11, 8 and 4…. I am teaching them to appreciate your country’s contribution to our hockey team. We used to have the Russian 5, now it’s all about the Swedes:
Henrik Zetterberg
John Franzen
Tomas Holmstrum
Janathan Ericcson
Fabian Brunnstrom
Niklas Kronwall
Not to mention Jonas Jerebko from the Pistons!"
He also thinks its very cool that I caught their signals in Sweden when he have a problem getting the signals 25 miles away in his home...
Radio AM830, Caracas -830
A fairly regular guest when the conditions favor Venezuela.Former known as R Sensación and R Nueva Sensación.
Has been difficult to get an QSL from them earlier but today Giomar Roca answered with a short but correct verification mail.
CMHW W Radio, Santa Clara -840
Not a everyday guest on the frequency but when they arrive they often posess a strong signal. This morning , the 13th of November -11, they had companion with a few mexican signals on the band. The program "Al ritmo de la noche" make me stop and listen to the rythmical tunes.
Located in the center of the country as the slogan says, "La Reina Radial del Centro", Santa Clara is the place for the last battle in the Cuban Revolution back in 1958.
