Some jackwagon who wont sign his name to his posts in the BCB Logger ( http://dxworld.com/bcblog.html) that theres music being played during this test. I can assure you IT'S NOTHING BUT SWEEP TONES, MORSE CODE and a legal id now n then. KCUP's DX test is originating from a machine at the transmitter site that only has this file loaded into the play. The automation for KCUP is sitting at a sister station in Needles, CA right now and isn't even feeding anything during the test
