Re: [IRCA] 1390 WSPO Charleston, SC DX Test imminent

[Patrick Martin <mwdxer@xxxxxxxxx>]

I listened back to the recorded test and I did catch a bit of the Morse Code at one point too. I am very happy to have caught the test, even though the signal was much poorer that when I heard WXTC back in 1997 on R/S. However, this time around the Eastern conditions were  poor. It was only the first 1/2 hour I really caught WSPO. The last 1/2 hour, the signal was pretty much lost, and by then anything East of Utah was pretty much gone. At a couple points, I may have caught some sweep tones in the last half hour, but nothing I could tell for sure.  I dubbed a CD, so off a report goes on Monday. I want to thank everyone who had a part in this test. 

73,

Patrick
