I was at the station during the last half of the 1/2 hour DX test this morning. Chatted with Steve Volger, the CE who was has been at WLPO for 40 years! Steve mentioned that while the power for this DX Test was at 1kw daytime level, the pattern was nighttime. WLPO has a sharp null at 79 degrees amied at Waukegan, IL to protect WKRS 1220Khz.
While there at WLPO during the test only one E-mail was received, from Pat in Seaside. Only one call came in a few minutes after the end of test from California. Took a photo of Steve Volger sitting at his computer with the E-mail from Pat Martin on the monitor. WLPO is an hour drive west of here. Before leaving home I setup R8A receiver and recorder. Copied a somewhat poor/medium signal under WKH from Cleveland, and the IBOC hash from 1210 WPHT. WLPO's daytime signal is quite strong here so they are unneeded for my log. First heard and verified WLPO back in 1965.
