AIH39 DXpedition Log (INCOMPLETE)
October 18 – November 1, 2014
(including programmed recordings made before and after)


 Europe (excluding Iberia)
 kHz: day.month. time UTC: station, comments:
       
 Iberia
 kHz: day.month. time UTC: station, comments:
       

Note: As with all continents, only rarities are listed. Another 100+ Spanish stations would have been available as well. Iberia (Spain, Portugal, Azores, Gibraltar & Andorra) counting as a separate continent is a Finnish DXers' quirk, underscoring Iberia's traditionally strong status in Nordic DXing and the distinctive character of its broadcasting scene.

 Africa

Jiangsu PBS (Health Service), Nanjing JS, "Jiangsu Jiankang Guangbo"
900 12.11. 1700 Henan PBS Rural Service (Nongcun Guangbo), UNID QTH. I have heard Henan here with three different services over the years, and have no idea whether they're from the same location(s) or not.
1008 27.10. 1600 Cheng Sheng BC, Kaohsiung
1080 8.11. 1601 + Zhejiang zhi Sheng, Pingyang/Shengsi/Xiangshan ZJ, simulcasting with 810 AM, where the signal was of course much better

 North America
 kHz: day.month. time UTC: station, comments:
790 1.11. 0557 WNIS Norfolk VA, time check "WNIS Newstalk 1.57". David A. Morgan, Director of Engineering and a ham, told me in his verification email that the station was temporarily running at only 25% of normal power with a non-directional antenna instead of the usual directional antenna. This made reception easier, as the nighttime directional pattern is very unfavorable to our direction.
800 31.10. 0834 CJAD Montréal QC, was surprisingly strong against the usual dominant CKLW, with a really nice ID at this time
890.0002 30.10. 1329 KMJE Olivehurst CA, "La Buena" // 92.1 FM, presumably launching on daytime power precisely at 1312 UTC, when it immediately took over the frequency. No trace of the signal until then.
890.0017 30.10. 1222 KYWN Meridian ID, "La Perla 890 AM". This Spanish-language station is so close to the dominant CJDC (890.0027 kHz) that it can't really be distinguished on the display.
940 28.10. 0500 KPSZ Des Moines IA, "Iowa's Christian Voice"
980 27.10. 2349 CHRF Montréal QC, "Radio Fierté AM 980", often on the following days
1050 29.10. 1159 KBLE Seattle WA, "Sacred Heart Radio" listed all stations of the network and "welcoming our new listeners on the new AM 1240 KBUP Olympia" - 1240 being an easier frequency, but not a trace heard at this particular time.
1090 28.10. 2359 WCAR Livonia MI, "The Yahoo Sports Radio 1090 WCAR Livonia"
1120 1.11. 0800 WKAJ St. Johnsville NY
1140 30.10. 2229 WCJW Warsaw NY, "CJ Country"
1190 31.10. 2341 KKOJ Jackson MN, closed down after the national anthem, which began at 2342. Identifies location as "Jackson Minnesota, Spirit Lake Iowa".
1230 29.10.   KDYM (// 93.7 FM), KORT, KVAS
1230 30.10.   KHAS, KBNH (//92.7 KORC), KVAS, KSBN, KDYM ("La Estación de la Familia")
1230 31.10.   KXLO, KTRF
1240 29.10.   KEJO
1240 30.10.   KCCR, KEJO, KTIK

1240 28.10. 0600 KOKL Okmulgee OK, "1240 The Brew"
1240 29.10. 0700 WBAS West Yarmouth MA, with an English-language top-of-the-hour ID in the middle of Portuguese programming
