[IRCA] KXTO-1550 Test?

[The Kaskey Family <kaskeyfamily@xxxxxxxxx>]

It just came back to me that on Sunday 7/1 about 0035 PDT I was tuned to
1550 to see if any part of the KXTO test might come through.  I have a
10 kw local KYCY on that frequency but I am able to get a bit of a null
on them in the direction of Reno.  Unfortunately KYCY was playing some
raucous new age stuff that made hearing other stations much more
difficult than usual.  Spanish language music station (probably XEBG)
could be heard at times.  At 0035 about half a dozen short bursts of
tone were heard, similar to the Asian pips-only slower with more space
between.  KYCY was so loud I could not make out any audio if there was
any but the tones cut through nicely.  I listened another 10-15 minutes
with no further tones.  I tried again on 7/2 about the same time.  Got
KYCY with same type of ear splitting music but no tones noted.

Would guess KXTO but can't be certain.  I have heard KXTO on regular
nighttime broadcast from time to time but not on a regular basis in the
past.
