Greetings from Sweden,
My name is Göte Lindström and I am writing to you because I heard your radio station KROS Clinton IA on 1340 kHz AM on November 25, 2023 from 7.16 to 7.17 a.m. your local time (on November 25, 2023 from 13.16 to 13.17 hours GMT/UTC). It was the first time ever I had the pleasure to hear KROS.
To prove that I have heard your station I have made an mp3 recording of your program at the actual time. On the recording you can hear a promo “… on The Iowa Business Report, Sunday mornings at 10 on AM 13-40 and FM 105.9 KROS” and “… join KROS every Wednesday, Thursday and Friday at 7.30 a.m. … Focus Set (?) on AM 13-40 and 105.9 FM KROS …” You can listen to the audio if you click play button.
I have been a radio enthusiast since 1969 and my favorites are stations in the AM/mediumwave band but I also listen to shortwave. Over the years I have received confirmations from approximately 2600 stations in 165 different countries. My radio receivers are a Perseus software defined receiver and an ELAD FDM-S2 software defined receiver and I use directional antennas beamed to different parts of the world. I also use different remote controlled Kiwi-SDR receivers in the Nordic countries. I am also a radio amateur or HAM-operator with the call sign SM7XUF.
I am 69 years old and four years ago I retired from my work as CFO and Real Estate Manager at Södra Vätterbygdens Folkhögskola, which is a school for students over 18, in Jönköping in the south of Sweden. We have been educating journalism students for more than 30 years. Many of the Swedish media persons in newspapers, radio and TV have been students at our school. I am married to Karin who is working as a teacher at the same school. We have two daughters, Marie 32 and Åsa 29. We also run a farm with sheep and lambs.
I wish you all the best in your work with your station. Thank you very much in advance. Have a nice day!
Yours sincerely
Göte Lindström
