[IRCA] WWXL 1450 DX Test heard in Central Alabama

[Les Rayburn <les@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The Morse Code from this test was heard easily here in Central Alabama 
(near Birmingham). WWXL is 324 miles from here, and a new one on this 
graveyard frequency. My thanks to whoever arranged the test!

I was disappointed that the test did not include sweep tones. Especially 
on a crowded graveyard frequency, sweeps are the best hope of cutting 
through the noise and allowing a station to be heard at great distances. 
I can't help but believe that this test would have been more widely 
heard if sweeps had been included.

Regardless, it's a new one in the log--and I'm very grateful!
