Here's the results of the most recent DX tests that have been received he
Sunday, March 14, 2004 - KEVA-1240, Evanston, WY tested 1:00-2:00am MST: This was a test heard mainly by those in the Western US and Canada, though not everyone in the West heard it. It was mentioned by many that the code for this test cut thru this crowded local channel especially well. Nigel Pimblett of Medicine Hat, AB and Nick Hall-Patch of Victoria, BC as well as Albert Lehr of Livermore, CA were some that mentioned the code cutting thru specifically. Also hearing the test were Patrick Martin of Seaside, OR, Mike Sanburn of Bellflower, CA, Kevin Redding of Mesa, AZ, and Don Kaskey of San Francisco, CA. Robert Wien in Azusa, CA also heard the test, but as he mentioned, it was rather weak. And Tim Hall of Chula Vista, CA and Gerry Thomas of Niceville, FL both reported hearing a jumble on 1240 kHz and were uncertain if the code they heard came from KEVA. And several DXers, myself included, tried for the test and didn't hear it - for instance, Vaughn Martin of Helena, MT and R.C. Watts of Louisville, KY both mentioned that they had locals on 1240 that they were unable to null. Bruce Portzer in Seattle, WA, Martin Foltz in Mission Viejo, CA, Bill S. in Omaha, NE, and John West in Dallas, TX all tried for the test with no luck. Sunday, March 14, 2004 - WTOP-1500, Wahington, DC tested 12:00-1:00am EST: This test was heard mainly in the Eastern US and Canada. It ran at their full 50000w, on their day pattern, and 2 announcements concerning the DX test were made. And there were certainly plenty of DXers listening for the test - those that heard the test included: John Fisher - North Chalmsford, MA Mike Brooker - Toronto, ON Adam Myrow - Memphis, TN Andrew Lisowski - Springfield, VA Gerry Bishop - Niceville, FL Ron Gitscher - Palm Coast, FL R. C. Watts - Louisville, KY Patrick Rady - Ann Arbor, MI Mike Hardester - Jacksonville, NC Paul Smith - Sarasota, FL Willis Monk - Old Fort, TN Steve Francis - Alcoa, TN Les Rayburn - Helena (near Birmingham), AL Nick Hall-Patch in Victoria, BC wasn't sure if it was WTOP's code he heard. Several people mentioned they tried for the test with no success - many heard only a local or KSTP, or in my case, a station with SS. These included: Patrick Martin - Seaside, OR Chuck Boehnke - Keaau, HI Niggel Pimblett - Medicine Hat, AB Vaughn Martin - Helena, MT Mike Sanburn - Bellflower, CA Tim Hall - Chula Vista, CA Craig B. - Denver, CO Bill S. - Omaha, NE Kevin Redding - Mesa, AZ Robert Wien - Azusa, CA Patrick Griffith - Westminster (near Denver), CO Lynn Hollerman - Lafayette, LA As a final note for this test, WTOP engineer Ken Sleeman asks that all QSL-related e-mail be directed to him at . That's all for now... Lynn. |
