Here's the results of the most recent DX test that have been received
he

Saturday, November 1, 2003 - WJNT-1180, Jackson, MS 12:00 am-1:00 am
CST:

DXers in various areas of the country were able to hear this test -
the Morse code, at least. Adam Myrow in Memphis, TN says he had
figured that he'd have no trouble receiving the test, and he was
correct - WJNT boomed in for him, over the usual interference from
WHAM, KGOL, and Radio Rebelde. Les Rayburn in Helena (Birmingham), AL
said the situation was much the same for him at his QTH; he noted a
clear switch to day power on WJNT. Dave Hochfelder in Highland Park,
NJ heard a weak but copyable Morse ID from WJNT, but that was all the
audio that made it thru WHAM and the Cuban. Bruce Collier in York, PA
reports he heard a snippet of Morse from WJNT, but he didn't feel that
was enough for a veri. James Niven in Moody, TX detailed his reception
of the WJNT test, saying he was able to hear both the Morse ID and the
Bruce William's Show, WJNT's regular programming. Willis Monk in Old
Fort, TN mentioned that he also heard a few code IDs from the WJNT
test, but mentioned interference from WHAM and the Cuban. Partick
Matin in Seaside, OR also caught the Morse ID, and noted that it was
weaker than in the past, but said that he felt that was due to all the
solar activity of later. He also reported that Jason Brose in Kansas
City, KS had told Patrick that he'd picked up the test. Also, Frank
Aden in Boise, ID heard a few tones, but he wasn't sure that it was
WJNT - KOFI was dominant for him. But Bruce Winkelman in Tulsa, OK
says the test, both code IDs and the regular programming, were heard
well at his QTH. Gerry Bishop in Niceville, FL heard several code IDs
from the test. and in Winnipeg, MB, Shawn Axelrod was also able to
hear several code IDs from WJNT under WHAM and Radio Rebelde.

However, Don Kaskey in San Franciso, CA says he checked and found the
usual dominant station on that frequency, KERI-Wasco, to be off or on
much reduced power at the time of the test, but didn't hear WJNT. Andy
Gardner tried for the test from Cancun, MX, but heard nothing but
Radio Marti and the Cuban. Robert Wien in Azuza, CA sat on 1180 kHz
for the full hour, but heard a presumed Mexican station on the
frequency, which he felt was XEDCH. Kevin Redding in Mesa, AZ, also
heard XEDCH, KOFI, and KERI at times, but he didn't receive the WJNT
test. Bob Karchevski in Sunnyvale, CA tried for WJNT and got KLAY-WA
instead. And there were some places in the East that didn't hear the
test - Gordon Bell in Troy, NY reports WHAM predominated at his QTH.
RC Watts in Louisville, KY reports that both he and fellow DXer Randy
Davis, also in Louisville, were unable to hear the test - there was
too much interference from a Latin station.

That's all for now...
