After successfully hearing CFFX's first DX Test programming spot at

Good Evening,
KIGO 1420 in with a whooper of a signal. Listed as 12 watts at night.
I read on-line that a gentleman from Norway heard them last
May. I guess the elevation of 4,972' really helps the 12 watts.
Luckily with the SRF-59 a couple other stations can be heard.

away), and I've already logged two new ones on 960, WKVX in OH and
WPRT in KY, plus a tentative WTGM in MD (does anyone else run Fox
Sports in the east?). Sad to see a station go silent after so many
years, but I won't be
I've been through my recordings a couple of times now and can't find any
