Re: [IRCA] WDEV-550 DX Test

[neilkaz <neilkaz@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thx for the details here. I should've realized that the test could start at 0006 after their nx rather than listed 0003. I stopped recording at 0006 and hrd nada.

Code hrd by a couple of DXers at 0003:30 which didn't have calls must've been something else sneaking in somehow. 

I did hear Bill Dvorak's recording of sweep tones at 0007:50 or so.

73 KAZ DXing in Grafton WI, happy for those that got this, and happy that stations test but wishing that they'd start when they say they will as I've missed a few tests due to late starts these past few years.

>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.
