[IRCA] WFNY Test heard - and an unID
Unattended recordings yielded various aspects of the test program - code, voice ID's, calls, music despite having to aim almost right through local flea-power nightttime WNPV and dominant WHKZ-OH. I wasn't sure how well that would work when I set up the 2010 last night. I also had an as yet unid ESPN ( several possible ) and an SNR outlet, all during the first 15 minutes. Any ideas on the SNR would be greatly appreciated - this may be the similarly-flea powered night ops of WCDL-PA, although I've never heard them here other than at sunset before.

[IRCA] WFNY Test heard
Morse IDs right after 1:00 am, then into Rebel Rouser by Duane Eddy. Followed by voice announcement with station ID and phone numer. Barefoot Sony 2010 here. Worked well in dealing with slop from local 1430 here.

[IRCA] WFNY TEST heard
WFNY test heard here with same details as reported by other DXers. Initial code IDs were so weak I couldn't make out a letter at all. Then hrd the initial announcement and a couple tentative IDs. The signal built through Reber Rouser. Reached its strongest during the announcement that folllowed. I heard two clear IDs and the station phone, then into California Dreamin, but fading fast. I didn't hear a trace of Red Rubber Ball, but did catch an SID a bit more talk before they went into, as I recall, Tears on My Pillow, by Little Anthony the Imperials. Sounded very distant throughout the test. I suspect they would never have been heard here on RS, even at sunrise or sunset. New one. Thanks to all who helped with this test. 73 David Faulkner Albany, OH (SE Ohio near Athens) ___ 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
Re: [IRCA] WFNY Test heard - and an unID
Looks as if the SNR promo was in fact local WNPV. Still haven't figured out which one of the many possibilities may have been ESPN.
