Re: [IRCA] WCTN-950 DX test - Tentative in Indianapolis
Here in Barrington IL.. 35 miles NW of Chicago's Loop I had only about 10
seconds of music under a nasty WNTD (Chicago's "Relevent Radio") at about
0010 EDT, but couldn't even tell what type it was so I won't even try to
call this tentative and noting that I can sometimes get Denver's Oldies even
past WNTD in the car on very good nights (which this wasn't). WWJ was also
bothersome as usual. There was one weak RR in code in there also as is
common to note if I spend much time on 950.
I have to call wCTN unheard.. 73 KAZ pointing out if they code have stuck in
a couple code ID's it would have helped greatly, but thanking them for the
nice impromtu test

I *may* have heard this one. Not enough to count, so just a tentative
(I don't even put those in my logbook). I have a local (WXLW) that only
uses 117 watts at night but I'm just inside of their night pattern.
They really drop out just a few miles North of my QTH. At any rate I
fired up the Eton e-100 at 2356 EDT and listened under and in WXLW's
slight null and did not hear anything special at the TOH. After about
0005, I noticed some oldies / 70's music underneath WXLW. Definitely
could not recognize the songs except for general format. Gave up at
0020. I did catch Reloj at one point and an unID talker WAY down in the
weeds.
Without CW or sweeps and WXLW very strong (stronger than normal?) this
one was doomed for me. Since there were no special effects for "help,"
maybe they coulda played The Five Americans "Western Union." :)
Thanks for the test and to Brandon for letting us know. Short notice is
better than no notice!
t950 WCTN MD Potomac - Cabin John 4/10 0015 DX Test. Caught some unID
oldies/70's music way under local WXLW. No ID. Thanks for the shot.
Reloj and maybe WWJ underneath. DH-IN
EDT - Eton e-100 barefoot
73,
