Re: [IRCA] KEVT test

["Neil Kazaross" <neilkaz@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

One issue with this test was the fact that KEVT is a Mexican format US 
station running their typical format. There are quite a few Spanish speaking 
stns on 1210 loggable in much of the US and from more countries than Mexico. 
Someone without a decent command of the SS language will have difficulties 
unless that DX station is rather strong and KEVT and a couple Mexicans could 
be confused even by those who are quite familiar with Mexican music.

Also from reports out west, it is possible that they didn't use day power 
until an hour into the test.   73 KAZ
