[IRCA] WNTP 990 DX Test

["W. Curt Deegan" <WWWR@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

At 12:02am EST (0502Z) 12/11/05 I began hearing test tones from WNTP 
990.  The test by WFIL on 560 was covered by Miami WQAM 560.

The following on 990 are as logged with the NRD-535D and phased active 
verticals except as noted:
12:08 Sweeping siren like tones higher gradually moving lower -- fairly 
apparent despite splatter from 980 WHSR.
12:08 Steady tone -- not clear if it was part of the test.
12:10 Traditional sweep tone low to high -- very obvious.  Heard also 
with R30 and QX Loop.
12:12 Sweeping siren -- very obvious.
12:13 Traditional sweep tones -- becoming clearer as they proceeded.
12:16 Rapid sweep tones, low to high.
12:17 Traditional sweeps.
12:19 Traditional sweeps, heavy QRN began -- an intermittent problem 
ever since hurricane Wilma.

I'll check back and hope the noise abates during some point of the 
second half hour of the WNTP test.
