Dion Cavu, producer, verified the report in an e-mail. After the normal verification text, Dion says further: “We recently launched our AM frequency after a lapse of a number of years to cater to our far flung audiences in the outer islands as well as those in
the interior of the main islands and also act as a backup service in times
of natural disaster.
The strength of our frequency has surpassed all expectations and since the
launch, we have received messages from a number of DX enthusiasts in the
region and around the world including Dx’ers from as near as Rotuma and
New Zealand and as far as Finland and above the Arctic circle, which has
truly blown away all expectations of how powerful our AM signal is.”

Ferreira, Jr, in the engineering dept says this: ” I QSL your 6FEB18@1640 EST reception report of WIZZ, Greenfield, MA, USA! Congratulations on your catch. WIZZ operates with 10,000 Watts into a phased and spaced two tower antenna system to create a cardioid pattern, with the lobe to the east and the null towards WWKB, Buffalo, NY, USA(west). WWKB is the dominant station on 1520kHz, so WIZZ must protect their daytime coverage pattern. WIZZ is licensed as a “daytime only” facility, and drops carrier, altogether, at local sunset.” “WIZZ is always glad to get DX reports, especially from across the Atlantic“. He promises a proper QSL card and antenna pattern diagram in the mail too.

#860: QSL. WNWR Philadelphia, PA 1540 khz verified my report today. Mr. Alan Pendleton, President of the New World Radio Group signed the e-mail which was written partly in Norwegian. He tells me that his grandmother and grandfather came from Norway and Sweden respectively which was outrageous at the time. He is currently learning Norwegian.
His grandmother taught him this poem to say to his grandfather:
Ten thousand Sweedes ran through the Weedes
Chased by One Norwegian
Ten thousand more ran to the shore
In the battle of Copenhagen
Way, way back in history
Back when the world was new
Norwegians searched all over
To find some snoose to chew
They fished for Lutefisk and Torsk
It helped to make them strong
And you and me, we know a Norsk
Cannot do nothing wrong
But Sweedes and Danes were anxious
Of Viking trips and raids
The Viking shield and helmet horns
Made all those folks afraid
Throughout the world the Vikings sailed
To Ireland and France
They even found America
One afternoon by chance
My Grandpa says, and he should know,
The Sweedes made up their minds
To beat the Norsky Vikings
And kick a few “behinds”
But history, so my grandpa says,
Shows that the Norskies won
They clobbered all the Sweedes and Danes
And made it lots of fun
Ten Thousand Sweedes ran throught the Weedes
Chased by One Norwegian
The dust from the weedes made snoose for the Sweedes
And they called it Copenhagen
– Hans Myhre.
