45 verified! Now it will be even more difficult. Stations from Delaware and Arkansas simply cannot be heard. And for a reception from Arizona, Nevada and Idaho, you need a lot of luck as well as the help of the sun. And we don’t even want to think about Hawaii here in Central Europe.
Today, December 20, is already Christmas in my neck of the woods: KOZN, Bellevue Nebraska has confirmed reception of its station from yesterday morning on mediumwave 1620 kHz. Now I have confirmed 45 US states, all heard here in Salzburg in the last 12 years.
Tonight there were particularly good North American signals in the mediumwave band here in Salzburg on my Beverage antenna. US stations could be heard on almost all channels, usually even several signals. It will take a lot of time to analyze the SDR recording.
Perseus-Jaguar, Beverage 200 mt, 335°.
KBRW from Utqiagvik=Barrow can be heard on 680 kHz around 18 UT with interference. Alaska is very weak this season, Utqiagvik has been heard much more regularly in recent years. Beverage 335°, 200 meters.
I only listen to shortwave very rarely now, but I am particularly pleased about this: The Solomon Island Broadcasting Corp. can finally be heard again, the last reception here in December 2023. Around 1915 UT, the morning programme from Honiara with Christmas music can be heard in the tropical band on 5020 kHz. (QRO.cz K9AY++, G33 Excalibur SDR)
