WOW! Thanks so much for your email! I am thrilled to hear that you have been able to pick up our signal! I went over our program log for yesterday, March 23, as well as enjoyed listening to the clip of audio you sent, and I am happy to confirm your reception report. I am especially tickled with the station ID your sent, as the voice is that of my daughter, Kirsten -14 years old. She will love it that someone so far away has heard her voice. If you are interested, please check out our website at ktwg.com </span></div>

Please send me your mailing address so I can send you a post card. I love the picture of your daughter-she's a beauty! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">" Good day Gary! We were pleasantly surprised by your email (sorry for the late reply). We couldn't imagine our Iligan station can be heard from as far as the African continent! </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Thank you very much for informing us of your amazing discovery! Yes, that is indeed our signal. This is one of our provincial AM stations. We're glad you took the time on finding out about us. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Your dxing is truly amazing given the distance between our locations (11 977 km / 7 442 miles), when in fact we ourselves, who are situated in the metro area, could not receive the Iligan signal. </span></div>
