I did manage to hear the DX test conducted by WOON 1240 Woonsocket, RI, which
ran between 2 and 3 AM EST, January 18. They run 1 KW, non-directional.

Caught several periods of the CW ID.

Perhaps I'll get a QSL (verie, for those in Glendale).

Well thanks Steve for letting us know you bogart.;-)


It was reported in DXLD, and as far as I know at the IRCA and NRC sites.

Besides, no one here listens anyway ;-)

What I am curious
about is when the digital conversion is totally complete does that
mean that those freqs are going to be free and abandoned so too speak
on the television freqs? I am seriously wondering if that means when I
swing my Channel Master around that I will be able to do some serious
DXing, I have at times caught (no more than eight minutes- but still
cool) other countries appearing on my tv screen. If anyone knows "for
sure" please let me know.....I have been looking forward to grabbing
some great DX on the tube after the switch.
