Re: [IRCA] [mwc] KXTO Test (Friday Night)

[markwa1ion@xxxxxxx]

I tried for this around 5 a.m. EDT Saturday morning 14 JUL (2 a.m. PDT, 
1000 UTC).

Since my outdoor antennas don't work well in that direction, I just 
used the Kaito KA1103 portable.  After all, the interference level of 
the two dominant domestics (CBE-ON and WDZK-CT), in roughly the same 
direction as desired KXTO, sets the required sensitivity floor.

Sorry to say that all I heard was CBE about 60% of the time on top, 
WDZK about 35%, and a mushy mess the other 5% (that included one sweep 
that sounded more 'Cuban wobbler-esque' than DX test style).  Slopover 
 from huge adjacents WDCD-1540 and WQEW-1560 was also a challenge at 
times.

No luck hearing the test here in Alabama either. Miami station (Coral 
Gables) in very well with it's Spanish language programming. Also 
hearing "The Whobbler" at times...usual mix of regulars, but nothing 
else.

Haven't seen any reports of anyone logging the test yet. We'll hope for 
better results tonight.
