KROS heard in Finland-it’s called DXing and you can hear what they heard

Hi there!

Greetings from Finland! We are Jarmo and Vesa, two AM radio hobbyists from Southern Finland. We are writing to inform that we have succeeded to receive your AM station in Finland!  Click ‘read more’ for information from their letter and you can hear what they heard. 

Every year in winter season we travel up to Lapland, the northernmost province of Finland. This area is ideal for catching fascinating long distance AM radio signals as yours.

Our reception of KROS took place on January 12, 2015 at 1.00 A.M. Central Standard Time.

We heard your station identification:

Female voice on top-of-the-hour: “This is… KROS Radio, Clinton”.

This long distance reception was possible with Microtelecom SDR communications receiver connected to a half mile long wire antenna directed to your area.

Wishing you and your staff all the best. We would be also interested to learn more about your station and programs. Waiting to hear from you soon.

Sincerely,

Mr. Jarmo Patala / Mr. Vesa Rinkinen
