Re: [IRCA] WYTH-1250 DX test - SLEPT THROUGH!

[Stephen Airy <pianoplayer88key@xxxxxxxxx>]

I almost wonder if you could have had a small chance at it anyway?  Last November I was able to log 594-JOAK from Tokyo, Japan (and even had weak audio) about 5600 miles west of me (great circle path more like northwest), even though I have a 5kW IBOC local, 600-KOGO, about 7.7 miles west (and slightly southwest) of me.

OTOH, I myself did try for 1250-WYTH, but didn't hear anything, neither did I hear much of a peep from the tester (forget their call atm) on 1540.  (I think I may have heard one dit or dah from a code ID that sounded like the right type of sound based on what others were describing and a recording someone poste who did log them, but that's probably not enough to confirm an ID.)

I decided not to try for this one (long week).  Most likely would have
been a no-show, as 5 mile local WNDE-1260 insists on running their HD
radio / IBOC noise generator.  1270 is actually worse than 1250 but
nothing makes it through.  I do appreciate Craig running this and the
1540 test, which I heard and verified.  

Craig - Hope that you will consider running future tests and would
appreciate if you could "talk up" DX/Equipment tests with other stations
/ owner's groups.  Thanks again!

Dave in Indy
