In Victoria, 3 stations were heard on 1430: KBRC Mount Vernon, WA with
Oldies format, KCLK Asotin, WA with Sports, but the dominant station was
KYKN, Keizer, OR with talk format and lots of IDs, and local ads, often at
very good levels. Needless to say, not a hint of WION....Walt Salmaniw

Also heard easily here in Alabama, near Birmingham. We were hearing light ârockabillyâ music throughout, but WION-140 test tones heard easily from approximately 0030 until just about TOH.

Thanks for this rare treat!! So great to hear a DX Test again!

After midnight WENE Endicott, NY dominant with Fox Sports Radio and slogan, "Fox Sports Radio 1430, Binghamton." Someone with light instrumental music also noted - either CHKT or WNSW-NJ. WION heard with 1 kHz test tones off and on 0035 - 0052 <tel:0035%20-%200052> EST occasionally topping WENE. Thanks to Todd Skaine for this last minute surprise.
