I tried for this around 5 a.m. EDT Saturday morning 14 JUL (2 a.m. PDT,
1000 UTC).
Since my outdoor antennas don't work well in that direction, I just
used the Kaito KA1103 portable. After all, the interference level of
the two dominant domestics (CBE-ON and WDZK-CT), in roughly the same
direction as desired KXTO, sets the required sensitivity floor.
Sorry to say that all I heard was CBE about 60% of the time on top,
WDZK about 35%, and a mushy mess the other 5% (that included one sweep
that sounded more 'Cuban wobbler-esque' than DX test style). Slopover
from huge adjacents WDCD-1540 and WQEW-1560 was also a challenge at
times.

No luck hearing the test here in Alabama either. Miami station (Coral
Gables) in very well with it's Spanish language programming. Also
hearing "The Whobbler" at times...usual mix of regulars, but nothing
else.
Haven't seen any reports of anyone logging the test yet. We'll hope for
better results tonight.
