I tried  with my PL-606 & Select-A-Tenna to receive 1250-WYTH, but I never 
even  heard any hint of code or sweep tones, and gave up about 15 minutes 
into the  second test.  (I had listened for the entire first test.)  Other  
stations (at least 3 that would have been individually identifiable) on 1250  
were just too much for 1kW from GA to punch through, and the splatter from  
1240-KNSN 11.2mi W of me didn't help, either.

Anyone know when the next  DX test is, especially one west of the eastern 
NM, CO, WY, MT borders?   Some better frequencies for me would be 560, 580, 
730 (E-NE), 820 (N), 900  (E), 1500 or 1570 as those usually only have very 
weak signals.  Strong  locals that would make DXing on those frequencies 
difficult, unless the target  is 90° off, are 600 (W), 690 (SW), 760 (NW), 910 
(N), 1130 (N), 1170 (N), 1360  (W), 1470 (SW).  So, anyone know when would be 
the next test that I would  have a reasonable chance at logging?


 
There are no DX tests currently scheduled. I would consider it highly  
unlikely that we will see any more tests until at least Fall, unless one or  
more of the three mid-February tests that were canceled are rescheduled (Paul  
Walker, can you throw any light on this?). March tests are rare and April 
and  beyond almost unheard of in recent years.
