Couple things... I'm thrilled this test made it to the west coast and overseas.
I'm thrilled many of you heard it on a SRF59 or other ULR. CFFX was on DAYTIME pattern, not nighttime. But I still think there is (was, now) a null. The first thing I heard at 0600 was an anct, very brief, that it was going off. Then went off and first in was a US anthem. It faded and then heard a Thunder Country ID. That's WHAK MI. I have heard them s-on with anthem in the past t 6 am, so not sure if that's who did it, or the Iowa station - have heard both here. WFIR and WELI in the mix, but I caught some sleep after. Now will see what post-SRS does...and will be in form for SSS and tomorrow's SRS before heading to Toronto. Someone will respond to your official reports. I will also respond to all e-mails. Just give me time. I am dawg-tired this morning and have work to do and sleep to catch up on.
