KLBM La Grande, OR 1450 & KBKR Baker City, OR 1490:
Jim,
Greetings from Oregon! Yes, that in fact is our station you picked
up. We simulcast KLBM 1450 kHz and KBKR 1490 kHz throughout Union and
Baker Counties here in Eastern Oregon.
It is really cool to know my voice was being heard so far away. Your
recording has me saying "Supertalk 1450 and 1490 AM" during my morning
program.
About 6 months ago, another gentleman from Finland contacted us and
provided a recording of our station from around October of 2007(?).
Shortly after that, someone else in Sweden reported they picked us up
too.
It's great that we have listeners throughout the world. Especially
since once traveling out of our area through the surrounding
mountains, it is somewhat difficult to receive the station signal even
then.
Towards the end of last month, a few ham enthusiasts wanted to start a
beginner ham class in our area. I invited them on our local interview
show, and they gladly spread the word about the class to our
listeners. Since participation in events and activities around here
is very low sometimes, they were hoping to get 5-7 people to sign up
for the class. But in fact, 15 people registered, including myself,
filling the class. So each week we meet, a few experienced hams, and
a lot of us new members, and have been going through the book so that
we can all apply for our Technician license. Right now it looks like
all of us are ready for the test, and should all be passing. Our test
is actually next week, so wish us luck!
Thanks again for contacting us and letting me know. We will
definitely print out your attached letter, and add it to the
collection on our wall. Expect something in the mail from us over the
next few weeks too....

Tänään palautui raportti KGEZ Kalispellille 600 kHz. Kuoren päällä
luki, ettei asemalla ole postilaatikkoa, johon kirjeen voisi jättää!
Onneksi oli jo ehtinyt kuitata sähköpostiraporttini.
