Art, You should have tried for KKGR. I'm closer to KNBR than you are and KKGR got through at least three times while I was on the frequency.

Re: [IRCA] Montana Tests
I finally caught 1290 KGVO after the test. So I got all except 930 KLCY this morning. Thanks to everyone for the test!

And oddly enough that was the only time I heard that station. Anyways, it showed up on the list (at least here, a minute later). The rest were delayed by an hour or two. I tried to log into #mwdx early on, but really wasn't concentrating enough on how to enter the list and failed to do so. Will have to look over the instructions again. ___ IRCA mailing list IRCA@hard-core-dx.com http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/irca Opinions expressed in messages on this mailing list are those of the original contributors and do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the IRCA, its editors, publishing staff, or officers For more information: http://www.ircaonline.org To Post a message: irca@hard-core-dx.com

[IRCA] Montana Tests
These Montana tests were great fun with these heard: 580KANA heard with sweep tones. New. 680KKGR heard with sweep tones and fast CW. New. 750KERR heard with CW music and ID's. New. 1290 KGVO heard at 0306 with ID and than into Coast to Coast. Not new and sounds like they on RS. This one is heard at times around sunrise. KGVO and KEIN were not heard. Thanks to all for these tests!

Russ wrote- > Well, sounds like the mail delay problems weren't all resolved with the > recent server change. In this case, no harm, since my not hearing any > of the tests wasn't much of a top ;-} Speaking of mail delays- I heard nothing from anyone on any list as to whether the test had begun OR if anyone was hearing anything. At 0400 I turned it all of and went to bed. Seems this morning is when the IRCA server decided to be slow. At 1100, I now have some 250 post to go through, and from scanning over the list comments, it seems (once again) that no one here in the south heard the test. I did hear what sounded like a sweep tone on 1310 at 0205, however, it is only a guess. It wasn't anything to get excited about. 1310 With WDOD-1310 in Chattanooga choosing this morning not to go to their night time pattern, it was impossible to be sure of anything. 1290 Any test on this frequency was impossible to hear with WHKY, Hickory, NC. 930 Nothing. 680 WPTF doing their usual good job of hogging the frequency. 750 WSB Atlanta a nice S9+30db. 580 WDBO Orlando, FL blocking any chance for the test. So the southern boys get left out once again! And to top it all off, the Loenoids meter shower was a bust! Not one meteor seen. Such is life.

Re: [IRCA] Montana Tests
Sad to say, but join the club. Maybe we'll have better luck next time. I did, however, hear AZ for the first time tonight. I also heard a new station in IA and KY. Bert New Watkinsville, Georgia Proudly Serving You Since 1964! At this point (0220 EST) I have no sign of any of the tests. This is not exactly a surprise because all of these except 750 are on crowded channels here, and because of low-angle blockage due to the basement location of the shack and the loop.
