>From my location here in San Francisco I listened for the first of the scheduled tests from KXTO at 1 a.m. PDT....Actually I listened from 0058-0111.
Local 10 kw KYCY or KYOU as they like to call themselves, due to their format of I-Pod/YOU-Tube programming was running a show called 'Gravediggers Holiday'. Assumed XEGM-Tijuana was running a decent 2nd behind KYCY with Mexican pop music. About 0105 PDT I heard a voice through the racket (KYCY was playing a Jimi Hendrix song at the time) in english mention DXers. Shortly after a short series of high pitched tones were heard. Nothing heard thereafter. I've heard KXTO at night a number of times a few years ago. Maybe there were excellent conditions at the time or maybe they were on daytime power. This with my Kiwa Loop aimed Northeast which is in KYCYs null (such as it is). Pointed NW I get mucho QRN plus the Vancouver WA station. Would like to try again but I have to go to my granddaughters birthday party tomorrow noonish. 73 Don Kaskey S.F.
