[IRCA] WDEV-550 DX Test

["Howe, Stephen S" <showe@xxxxxxxxxx>]

A bit late to the party...but as likely one of the closest DXers to WDEV, I thought I'd report in, too.

As expected, WDEV was heard well during their regular programming and DX Test from 2358 8/16 to 0009:30 8/17 in Saint Albans using my Sony ICF-2010 and Radio West loop.  Regular programming consisted of sports talk, short ID, news, a very detailed sign-off ID, then the Star Spangled Banner.  DX Test started precisely at 0006, with WDEV Morse code ID, telephone tones, WWV-like time pips, and sweep tones, with two more WDEV Morse code IDs interspersed before test ended just past 0009.

Thanks to Paul Walker for setting up the test and to Bob Welch for handling verifications.
