[IRCA] WHYL-960 DX Test

2009-03-15 Thread Chris Knight
I monitored 960, but didn't hear the WHYL DX Test. IBOC QRM from local KRWZ-950 is tough enough to get by, but then there's CFAC which is a powerhouse pest. If CFAC were off (or not using non-directional pattern) WHYL would have stood a chance. The other stations heard here tonight on 960 were KMA

Sorry you did not hear the test. Down here in Tennessee, which is much closer, I had them booming in at S9+20db for the first 30 minutes or so, then it went down hill after that. By 0200 I could'n hear the station at all. By 0130 there was lots of QRM from WERC in Birmingham, AL. But I have

The WHYL DX test wasn't heard here in southern Alberta either. Not a real surprise, as eastern conditions didn't seem that good. Interesting to note that others heard CFAC so well, as here, about 120 miles from them, they were generally being overpowered by the country music from KSRA in
