[IRCA] KCKN-1020 DX Test hrd in Tampa

["Bob Foxworth" <rfoxwor1@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Got to the rx about 0225 EDT. Hrd four episodes of sweeps and
CW in the following hour, quit after 0330 EDT. Sig only fair
during first two, then a long dry period, two more weak episodes
of sweep and CW hrd after 0315-ish. None of them good enough
for any voice reception. Main problems were Reloj-1020 and
what I think was Kendall FL with SS and FF music, taking turns,
laidback DJ. I could not ID anything from KDKA. CW was a definite
ID for KCKN.

Checked 1080 which I think was WVCG, no KRLD. KWKH 1130
was decent, but I don't think westerly cx were that great.

Rx a barefoot dx398 in the kitchen, turned to loop out noise,
but favoring E-W. This test did not do as well as I had
hoped, but I guess was too distant for a good single-hop.

Tnx to all,

Bob  Tampa FL
