[IRCA] WVNN Tentative now positive!

["Les Rayburn" <les@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The "Inventory Insert" concept continues to prove it's worth. After
nights with virtually no reports of anyone receiving the WVNN 770khz
test, the propagation gods smiled, and this morning brought
news of loggings from Tulsa, Memphis, Florida...and
two very notable loggings.

One is reprinted below from Wayne Heinen who logged the 250 watt
station from Aurora Colorado at a distance of 1043 miles and
another from California at almost 2,000 miles!

Tonight is the last night for the WVNN 770khz Test...and we
also have the KAVT 1680khz test tonight.

Next week starts the WUMP 730khz test. Best of DX
to all! Thanks again to Rick Shaftan and Fred Holland
for bringing us the WVNN and WUMP tests!

Oh sorry, I'm in Aurora Colorado distance calculated from FCC coordinates of 
WVNN to my shack 1043 miles.  Now here is the better part, I got Morse Code 
at 0059 ELT with the sweep tone! BTW this was my third night of taping so it 
is a matter of the right propagation at the right time.


I will send an official report to you this weekend once I take the wav home 
tonight on my flash drive.

In light of some of the nay saying I've seen about the inserts and this WVNN 
test, feel free to re-post this to NRC-AM and IRCA lists if you want, I 
won't be able to post it until late tonight after I get home, just keep my 
office address out if you would!

more as it happens!
