Re: [IRCA] WCXH-780 DX Test

[WALTER SALMANIW <salmaniw@xxxxxxx>]

That's exciting, Nick!  Congratulations.  I haven't yet listened to my mp3 file.  Around midnight I did check my various antennae and noted that on all, but the NE corner fed loop, KKOH dominated totally, but on the NE, WBBM often dominated cochannel KKOH.  I'm hoping that I could hear the CW code as well, since I've heard the same with other tests when nothing else was audible.  I'll report when I'm able to hear the file.  Nick, if you do send in a report, perhaps we can send a joint one in from Victoria.  Wonder if Colin was listening?  .......Walt.
