Re: [IRCA] [NRC-AM] WASR Test Not Heard in Madison WI

Yeah..WIMS is also playing Xmas mx and of the flavor that I heard on the DX rx and likely what some of us in the upper midwest had rather than WASR.  73 KAZ 35 miles NW of Chicago's Loop

At leats 1 stn has Xmas mx, but when I listened to WASR online, the ancrs' voices were not the same as hrd in the truck. I haven't noted WIMS which is usual that direction so perhaps they have Xmas mx also. Will listen to stream after their nx ends to be sure.
