Re: [IRCA] DX Tests - preliminary results - please review for accuracy

[Mike Sanburn <mikesanburn@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Wow, what a thoroughly impressive list. Thanks to all who were involved setting these up. I would really hope that these stations (especially WKVQ) will be willing to do this again, perhaps when next season rolls around. --Mike

> 1250 WYTH GA MADISON - MAYBE HEARD:
> 
> IL Paul Walker - Two real brief sweep tone type sound effects; other then that, the signal is buried in the mud and can't tell if the music is form WYTH or someone else.
> MO Earl Higgins - Occasional weak tones around 1:03 and 1:09 ELT, not really enough to put into the log books, so for now this will have to be the one that got away
> NE Rick Dau - Might have heard something that sounded like a code ID at 0113 ELT, but KYYS in Kansas City just too strong
> OR Pat Martin - Getting tones and sounded like weak morse code a couple of times. Once at :22, but hard to tell. I really did not expect to hear anything, but something is in there. I will try again next hour. PA Mark Clark - Way too much WDDZ but there seemed to be a weak morse ID in the mud at 0123, otherwise nothing

> 
> 1250 WYTH GA MADISON - NOT HEARD
> 
> UNITED KINGDOM Barry Davies - Sadly the station's 1000 watts did not stray across the pond
> CA Stephen Airy - A local on 1240 the opposite direction doesn't help.
> CT Ron Musco - Mess of other stations
> CT Mike Bugaj - Sports and music - nothing heard of test
> NY Jim Renfrew - Nothing so far at 0116 with Oakville ON and Ft. Wayne IN dominant
> OK Glenn Hauser - Nothing identifiable
> BC Nick Hall-Patch - Only tried second part of the test, no sign here
> ON Saul Chernos - Not a hint with Oakville dominant
