Re: [IRCA] [ABDX] WH2XDE digital tests imminent circa 1750 kHz

[Tim Tromp <kilokat7@xxxxxxxxx>]

The motive of this test is a little concerning to me when I hear 
"digital data" and "medium wave" mentioned in the same context.  But I 
have to admit, I enjoy hunting for oddball signals between 1710 and 1800 
kHz, and I've found plenty over the last few years to keep me 
interested.  I view this as one of those opportunities to log something 
new in this "no man's band".  It's close enough to the MW broadcast band 
to peak my interest, but like Kaz, I don't count this as a new BCB 
logging either.
