Last winter I was constantly
listening/monitoring and recording the AM radio band. I
received the signal of KLIZ 1380 AM in Finland. I am a radio
enthusiast and I've been listening to distant radio stations for 40
years. I have also collected confirmations of my reception
from those stations. So far I have succeeded in getting over
2000 stations from over 200 countries confirmed. However, I
think this was the first time I heard KLIZ 1380AM's signal.
Report: I received the station on the 13th of October 2020 at 9:59 PM Central Daylight Saving Time (2:59 AM GMT). Block of spots/PSA's at 10:00 PM, the station ID, "SportTalk Radio for the Brainerd Lakes, 13-80 KLIZ, Brainerd-Baxter - The Fan," then sports talk. There was some interference from a Canadian station (CKPC in Brantford Ontario), and from some European stations on the adjacent channels, slightly fading and troubled with atmospheric noise, but readable. I use a 600 feet northwest-bound long wire outdoors antenna (hanging on trees), which explains why it was possible to tune into your signal. Although I know that Your programs are not primarily aimed at the international public, I hope you might find it interesting to know that KLIZ-AM's signal can be heard thousands of kilometers away - even without the Internet! I wish You and Your station the best of success. Best Regards, Ruovesi, Finland |

My name is Per Eriksson and I have, according to my friends,
a strange hobby. I enjoy listening to short and medium wave
radio stations from all over the world. That said, I am very
pleased to inform you that I enjoyed listening to The Fan,
KLIZ on Sunday, November 6, 2016, at 0430 hours Universal
Coordinated Time. I am using a Microtelecom Perseus software
defined receiver. Must say I am proud of catching your signal
with my 900 metre longwire antenna. Yes, you need that length
for trans-atlantic signals! Have put it five metres up in the
trees so elks go free. Sincerely Yours, Per
Eriksson, Vellinge, Sweden. |

Dear Mr. Persons: Greetings from Finland. I am 61 years old and live in the Helsinki suburb called Laajasalo, which actually is an island in Gulf of Finland. This is a quiet green place to live. I have a lot of time for my radio hobby. DX-ing, or trying to catch foreign radio stations, has been my main hobby since 1968, that is 46 years now. In that time I have heard and identified about 1200 stations from 205 countries. Read more at: http://www.dxing.info/dxpeditions/aihkiniemi_dx_cabin_for_rent.dx I heard KLIZ-AM on 15th of January, 2015, at 0000 CST K-L-I-Z 1380 AM Brainerd/Baxter, the Fan Fox Sports Radio.

In the middle of the night on October 30, 2014, at 1:03 AM CST I listened to KLIZ on AM 1380. This was the first time I have been able to hear KLIZ. I heard station-ID: �Sports Talk Radio Brainerd Lakes 13-80 KLIZ AM Brainerd Baxter The Fan." It was really thrilling hearing your AM-signal on this long distance, almost 3850 miles.
Some
of friends and I were staying a week in an old schoolhouse in
the northernmost part of Sweden to listen to distant radio-stations. Parkalompolo is a small village in the middle of nowhere with only 25 persons living here. The road ends here and the nearest shop is 30 km away, but it is a perfect place for listening to weak, distant radio-signals. The reception-conditions on AM from North America were pretty good this night, especially on the higher AM frequencies, but on the lower frequencies the noise was a little heavy. Receiver: Perseus SDR. Antenna: a long wire 780 meters (1/2 mile) long, pointing towards central North America.Best Regards, Alf Persson, Nodinge, Sweden |
