Loggings for May

 Here are my loggings for May

# after the date means I logged this station on the DX League's SDR, also located in Mangawhai. 

It is housed in Bryan Clark's back garden, right on the edge of the Mangawhai lagoon. He has better reception than I. I am about 8km (5 miles) back from the sea.

A new verie and a new country

 Harbour Light of the Caribbean 1400 kHz come in here quite well on occasion. One such night was the 6th May. I received them at 0905 UTC and listened for about half an hour. I sent an email and this morning received a reply from Randy Cornelius the station Director/ Engineer (harbourlight@spiceisle.com). He is doing a great job on the engineering side as we are 13,800 km from Grenada.

It is a very welcome QSL.

A verie

 For the past few nights, WJCC 1700 kHz in Miami Springs, FL has come in very well on the League's SDR, with its EWE pointing towards Sth America. It has dominated XEPE, the station normally heard on the frequency.

I sent a report off for reception on May 9 along with a short audio recording to a Mr Alex Saint Surin (alex@radiomega.net) the General Manager.

Within an hour a reply came back. 

Bonjour Mr Forsyth

Vous avez parfaitement raison. Vous avez capté Radio Mega 1700 am émettant de Miami Etats-Unis d’Amérique. 

 Nous émettons en créole, francais et anglais pour une communauté haitienne d’environ 750000 habitants

Merci d’avoir partagé cette information  avec nous

Alex Saint Surin

I am delighted to have it. It joins KBGG, KVNA and WEUV (all logged and verified 2002-2004) on the frequency.
