Re: [IRCA] ] KSEY 1230 DX Test + ULR #299

[Rick Dau <drummer1965usa@xxxxxxxxx>]

Dave, did you happen to record the test at all?  If you heard sweep and other tones, I'm 99% certain you heard the test, even if you didn't copy any Morse Code.  The test was easily copied at a fair to good level here, and I'm roughly 550 miles from Seymour. The odds of ANYONE else on 1230 airing sweep tones and other various identifiable tones at that hour in a continuous pattern would've been astronomical.

Tried for thew KSEY 1230 DX Test.  I did hear a few sweep and other tones
but certainly not enough to count.  Would have been one of my farthest GY
stations.  I tried with a Grundig S-350 and Eton e-100, both BF.  I'm sure
that if I had more antenna, it would have been easier but even Glenn Hauser
had trouble with getting an ID and he is much closer.  I did hear a new
station on 1230, thanks to the test, WHOC, Sparta IL!  I'm not much of a GY
DX'er but heard much classic country and an ID at 0135 ET.  This is ULR
299!  Between the tones, WHCO and an unID talker, 1230 was fairly quiet.

#298 was WUMY 830 TN.  They moved from Missouri and since it is further
than 40 miles, I counted it.  They were prolly not on their 2 watts night
power, either.  Thanks to Earl in St. Louis for the tip.  They were
blasting away WCCO the first night and the second, WUMY was alone.  They
are potent, in my direction.

Thanks for the tests but I'm 0 for 3.  KBXD 1480, tried for but nothing and
I think that I would have had more of chance with their night pattern /
power, any way.  Vicksburg 1490. prime time, too busy to try for,

830 WUMY TN Memphis 3/23 0615 Loud w/Classic Country and slogans.  Easily
over WCCO.  Must be on day rig.  NEW! DH-IN

1230 WHCO IL Sparta 3/24 0135 Easily atop the channel at times w/Classic
Country and ID.  Heard while trying for KSEY TX DX Test. New!
