1540 is generally a channel to avoid here, thanks to the power trio of CHIN, WDCD and KXEL - they all blast me with their nighttime DA's. You guys down south have it easy! To make it even more challenging, I was too tired to sty up for the test. At 2330 when I hit the sack, CHIN was on top of the pack, so I tried to null them, leaving WDCD as dominant. Checking my overnight recordings now, I found that KXEL had come way up by 0100, and they and WDCD were both huge during both test periods. I did find some bits of code breaking through during the first period, but things improved considerably after 0200. There was a very clear sequence of WKVQ code IDs starting a few seconds before 0203. I could probably pick out some more bits from the test if I listened more, but this was enough to seal the deal for me. 1540 logging #14, and every one has been a struggle after the first three...
Many thanks to those who organized and ran this test!
