When I checked 1540 at about 0015 est, I hrd tone there. Anyone know who this was? I was thinking maybe it was a pre-test test?  G

1540 is generally a channel to avoid here, thanks to the power trio of CHIN, 
WDCD and KXEL - they all blast me with their nighttime DA's.  You guys down 
south have it easy!  To make it even more challenging, I was too tired to sty 
up for the test.  At 2330 when I hit the sack, CHIN was on top of the pack, 
so I tried to null them, leaving WDCD as dominant.  Checking my overnight 
recordings now, I found that KXEL had come way up by 0100, and they and WDCD 
were both huge during both test periods.  I did find some bits of code 
breaking through during the first period, but things improved considerably 
after 0200.  There was a very clear sequence of WKVQ code IDs starting a few 
seconds before 0203.  I could probably pick out some more bits from the test 
if I listened more, but this was enough to seal the deal for me.  1540 
logging #14, and every one has been a struggle after the first three...

Many thanks to those who organized and ran this test!
