Re: [IRCA] WSRY DX Test
J.D. and Willis, Since the test consisted of sweep tones, Morse code IDs, what I call stair step tones (rising or falling pitch in discrete intervals rather than a continuous rise or drop as with sweep tones), voice announcements, etc., I'll bet Tom just made a typo in his original message when he wrote staincase wave for a staircase wave, meaning the staircase or stair step tones.

[IRCA] WSRY DX Test
WSRY-1550 heard in Vermont on DX test on 11/29/09 at times from 0001-0026 EST with sweep tones, Morse code IDs, and stair step tones very weakly under mostly nulled CBE, hiss from WQEW, and an unID SS station. An unusual interval signal-like jingle heard from the SS station at one point. Heard using Sony ICF-2010 and Radio West loop. Thanks to Dan Oetting for running the test.

[IRCA] WSRY DX Test heard in IN (but just barely)
Thanks to Dan Oetting for arranging the WSRY DX Test. I'm not going for a QSL as not enough made it to tape. I followed the fun along, with the IRCA reflector and I listened from to 0100 on both the Grundig S-350 and baby brother Eton E-100. Well, I heard the DX test, but just barely. Man was it hard! The Ontario DX'ers and even George Sherman in MN seemingly had easier times with it. The pattern surely favored them more than I and I have two all nighters on roughly the same beam (right down I-70). I caught enough snippets of code ID but some of the progressive tones were the items that stood out. The tones were roughly heard at :11, :23 and :55. WMDH (New Castle, IN) and SS (WDLR-OH) put WSRY in a distant third spot. CBE-ON is very rare here, thankfully. I had never ID'ed WDLR so it's new also (now to ID the SS on 1480, which must be MI and my Far Eastern on 1040). Barry - WDLR is now La Que Buena. 1550 WSRY MD Elkton 11-29 0010 DX test. Poor w/progressive tones and just barely enough CW ID (Vp) to log. Trying to fight through WMDH-IN and WDLR-OH. Thanks to Dan Oetting! NEW! DH-IN 1550 WDLR OH Delaware 11-29 0059 F-G w/SS hits and La Que Buena slogans, o/local WMDH. FINALLY an ID at 0059. Have heard for a few years but never ID'ed. NEW!
