[DX] KBGN AM 1060 heard in Finland
... ja tässä toinen. Mukana ohjelmalokin lisäksi yksityiskohtaiset tiedot
lähetystehon muutoksista.
Oma idini ei tosiaankaan ollut ihan hifituotantoa, vaikka selvä olikin.
Mielenkiintoista kuulla, että aseman v/s itse paranteli sitä filtteröimällä
ympärillä olevia vinkuja pois.

Dear Jim,
Thank you for your correspondence about your reception of our radio signal
in Finland. In October of 2004 I received correspondence from two other
gentlemen who had received our station while listening in Lemmenjoki. While
your recording was made while we were broadcasting at nearly 10,000 watts,
it is interesting that their audio, received while we were transmitting with
about 60 watts, was clearer than yours. Upon listening to the audio sample
it was evident that you did, indeed, hear KBGN. I was able to get only a
small improvement in the audio by filtering the strong heterodyne whistles
near 1000 and 2000 hertz.
The following is an excerpt from the December 3, 2008 program log of our
automated broadcast system, verifying that we did air the station
identification announcement heard on the audio sample which you sent:

Thanks for including the beautiful photographs. The lovely "northern lights"
are one of my fond recollections from my youth in the state of Minnesota. I
have witnessed them only two or three times here in Idaho and with much less
awe than in Minnesota. I was raised in the far North of Minnesota amongst
many people of Finnish descent. Some of my siblings married spouses of
Finnish blood who have retained some of the language because it was so
commonly spoken by their parents. I was only a young boy when my folks
bought a farm from an elderly Finnish immigrant lady who used to treat us
with tasty Finnish cheese which she would make to sell to a store in a
nearby town. The homestead had a log farmhouse and some outbuildings built
with a unique style and skill that had been brought over from "the old
country". In the community there are several such structures which have been
marked for historical preservation. Because of the Finnish influence, our
track and field team in Embarrass, Minnesota was called the "Flying Finns".
While I am well acquainted with cold weather (Embarrass is frequently the
coldest town in the "Lower 48 States"), I have no desire to take the icy
plunge shown in your photos. I once took a dive into the snow after getting
totally steamed on the top seat of our sauna bath; not an experience which I
wish to repeat. When I was growing up, we had only the sauna bath for
washing up and an out house for other matters of hygiene.

KBGN is a station which has broadcast Christian programs and music since
1960. I came to work here in 1974, over the years serving in management and
engineering capacities and eventually acquiring the station in 1989. My four
children have all been staff members.
Have a Merry Christmas and a good year in 2009!
