New Verifications; 600 NA

Veries the past couple of days:

KDLR Devils Lake ND 1240 email from GM and owner Curt Teigen, of Norwegian heritage. KDLR is 81 years old and although Curt has only owned it for a few years, he became interested in its history. The previous owner threw away most of the old stuff including equipment except some items stored in a forgotten place. Read KDLR's history here. There aren't many stations who display their history on the web like KDLR, and that's a shame. I should add that my reception of KDLR was on October 11, and its signal was more like a directional regional-channel station than a non-directional local-channel one. Very impressive.

KKGR East Helena MT 680 email from Les Rayburn with a jpg-QSL from the Big Sky Montana DX Test in November.

KERR Polson MT 750 email from Les Rayburn with a jpg-QSL from the Big Sky Montana DX Test in November. KERR is my 600th verified North American (counting only ALS, CAN, USA) MW station. A most worthy candidate for such an occasion. Of course I had to brag a bit, which is why you can see the QSL displayed here.

A big Thank You to Les Rayburn for his work as DX Test Coordinator!
