WHJJ Providence RI -920


In October 2011 I had the luck to receive their signals with a promo for Jim Bohannan Show  followed by "on 9-20 WHJJ". This was the first and only time I´ve heard them, so I decided to send them a f/up earlier this year. Program & News Director Bill George confirmed my reception after he been listening to my recording.

WPRV Providence RI -790


The 12th of January this year we had signals coming in early in the evening and quite a few "daytimers"  was logged in Scandinavia. Once again 790kHz surprised me with a TOH ID  at 2200UTC as "Listen to Imus in the Morning - AM7-90 WPRV Providence - A Cumulus Station"   Although not a daytimer  but a nice catch anyway from this, the smallest state in U.S.
Caroline Gallogly, Promotions Mgr verified my reception.

KFGO Fargo - Moorhead ND-790



During good conditions the 10th  of January I noticed that KEYZ  Williston 660 was dominating their QRG. As my collection of North Dakota QSLs are quite small I went to 790 to see if I had some luck. Last year I once  heard them but with a very disturbed and weak signal, but now I could clearly decipher "..on 7-90 KFGO - KFGO.com. News and People you trust. Everyday...Newsroom on the Mighty 7-90 Fargo-Moorhead"  when CFCW was in a deep fade.  I soon received a nice  letter from Brad Wilson :


Fargo-Moorhead are sister cities of the Red River Valley which acts as a natural border between ND and MN. The cities has a population of about 210 000.   Fargo is also the name of Cohen Brothers crime film from 1996 where our swedish actor Peter Stormare had his international breakthrough as an actor
