To date, I've only received QSL requests from a handful of
DX'ers for this test. Most
have come via e-mail recordings, and hopefully those folks
have received their
verifications.
I have received two reports via regular mail on cassette
tapes. One from Patrick
Griffith and the other from Curtis Mcmenamin. Don't have a
cassette deck
of any quality handy, so I have to make special arrangements
to use one at
an editing facility where we do our video editing.
Today, I listened to both tapes several times on a
professional cassette deck
with headphones. Unfortunately, I could not hear anything on
either tape that
would allow me to verify the receptions.
The experience did underscore why cassettes are a poor choice
for this
application. I had to shift through 10 minutes or more of
audio on each tape.
If I had a "suspected" signal, it was very hard to cue and
re-cue the tape
to play it over and over. (the deck did have "cueing" features
which
makes this easier)
Also, it isn't easy to insert the recording into a "clean up"
program like Sony's
Sound Forge or Pro Tools, which I normally use for weak signal
digital files.
I'm urging both DX'ers to try again while KXTO continues the
"inventory insert"
testing. If anyone is still waiting on a QSL for this test,
please e-mail me
a recording or send a CD or cassette to the address below.
