DX test Results
 

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

Sunday, March 28, 2004 - KEVA-1240, Evanston, WY tested 1:00-2:00am MST:

As was the case when this station tested on 3/14/04, most of those that heard
the test were in the West. Don Kaskey of San Francisco, CA and Pat Martin of
Seaside, OR mentioned that the code seemed much weaker this time. However, Tim
Hall in Chula Vista, CA reported that he heard the code easily, as was the case
with Steve McDonald in BC. Darwin Long in Thousand Oaks, CA heard the test, with
several other stations on the frequency. Shawn Axelrod in Winnipeg, MB said he
heard KEVA with a poor signal, but was able to hear and understand the code.

Bill Snyder in Omaha, NE, Gerry Bishop in Niceville, FL, and Neil Kazaross in
Barrington, IL all reported that they tried for the test but were unable to hear
it.

Monday, March 29, 2004 - WXHL-1550, Elkton, MD tested 12:00-1:00am EST:

There wasn't a clear dividing line on who heard this test and who didn't; for
instance, Russ Edmunds in Blue Bell, PA, remarked that while his QTH is only 47
miles from WXHL and his loop was pointed right at them, he doesn't think he
heard the code from the test due to QRM from CBE and WDZC. However, "rah1962" in
IN says he heard the test, albeit the Morse only. Gordon Bell in Troy, NY heard
the test well, but Scott Fybush in Rochester, NY reports hearing only a mixing
product of some of his locals. Also not hearing the test were Ernest Jones in
Greensboro, NC, Bruce Winkelman in Tulsa, OK, Gerry Bishop in Niceville, FL,
Kevin Redding in Mesa, AZ, Mike Brooker in Toronto, ON, and Andersson Sigvard in
Sweden. Also, John Hunter of Rossville, GA and Adam Myrow of Memphis, TN both
heard a station with SS instead of the test.

However, the test was heard by Wade Smith in New Brunswick, Canada, Saul Chernos
in Burnt River, ON, Phil Greenspan in Marshfield, MA, Bill Dvorak in Madison,
WI, Mike Hardester in Jacksonville, NC, Jim Renfrew in Byron, NY, and Barry
McLarnon in Ottawa, ON.


That's all for now...
