[IRCA] WSAR-1480 DX Test
I am glad to hear that last night's ABDX DX Test from WSAR-1480 was widely heard throughout the Eastern US and Eastern Canada and also in Scotland and Germany. This station is a daytime regular here (40 miles east of Fall River) but is normally just part of the jumble on 1480 at night. I think they may have run non-directional during the test as the signal really picked up after 0201 EDT.

[IRCA] WSAR-1480 DX test
I had a nearly continuous undulating tone, sounding something like the organ(?) in CLOSE ENCOUNTERS, for most of the hour. Don't know what it was. Frequency was like a graveyarder. Gonna listen to my recording one more time and try to match up some of the times and test material posted by others.

[IRCA] WSAR-1480 DX test
Heard! Listening to my recording and trying my best to ignore the (tone? het?) that was nearly always there, I could pick out code and sweeps at 2:04-2:05, sweeps at 2:24, and code at 2:37 and 2:40. All very faint, but there. Thanks to all for your detailed postings, or I'd have written this off as an unheard. WSAR is MA #20, twelve of 'em from DX tests!

Nothing noted here, CX seem terrible. Even KRXR ID is poor tonight. Can't hardly hear KSTP 1500.

[IRCA] WSAR-1480 DX test heard
All times are Eastern Daylight War Time QRM from WZJY in Mount Pleasant, SC and WYZE in Atlanta, GA. At 0204 I head what souned like CW. The CW was weak but the sweep tones came through splended. The may have been a voice aounment before the CW, however I am not sure the QRM was bad. At 0219 I am hearing time pips mixed in the QRM. This may not be part of the test. But, the pips were heard. At 0235 heard CW sending what sounded like WSAR. At this time WWKO-1480 in North Carolina was QRMing the test. They QSBed at 0237 At 0238 what sounded like 3 clangs on a bell or a wrench falling on a garage floor. Again may not be part of test. Just logged WWKO-1480 in North Carolina. Not to bad for a pattern that favor every direction but west.

Re: [IRCA] WSAR-1480 DX test
Checking unattended recordings, found first appearance of the test at just after 0201 EDT, with VVV's in code, then WSAR in much slower code (and lower tone frequency). Voice announcement about the test noted at 0259, followed by code and regular TOH ID at 0300. Also noted on the channel: WHBC, presumed WSDS (I've yet to hear a legal ID from them since they flipped to Spanish format), WGVU, WIOS, WADR. Thanks for running the test!

Re: [IRCA] WSAR-1480 DX test heard
WWKO 1480 is the "old" WSRC in Fair Bluff, NC... I would reason they were on low power, Ive never known them to cheat. I'm not sure they've ever even accidentally stayed on high power later then should be any time recently, as I know the engineer running the ship and if something malfunctioned, Id hear about it. (WWKO, ex WSRC, was the station WABV simuclasted for awhile. If you want a QSL, let me know and I can get you the engineer's email address Paul Walker www.onairdj.com On Sun, Mar 22, 2009 at 1:50 AM, wrote: > All times are Eastern Daylight War Time > > QRM from WZJY in Mount Pleasant, SC and WYZE in Atlanta, GA.

Re: [IRCA] WSAR-1480 DX test heard
Oh, and for what it's worth, I'm almost certain WWKO hasn't "turned on" it's 10KW Non Directional power yet from the CP it was granted on July 11, 2007... there is no 10KW transmitter there, yet.
