Wow Richard,
To my knowledge, with your reception of 171-RMI, you are the first DXer
to ever receive an African LW station on an Ultralight radio in North
America (at least since we started the ULR Awards Program)-- and you
did it from Oklahoma!
Congratulations on your 4th Longwave-TA, and

It won't be a record, but because I didn't remember to set up the 2010 for
1540, and seeing Saul's email late, I set up the Grundig G8 barefoot on 1540,
as a hopeful effort.
I was rewarded by a fade-up of perhaps 3-4 minutes starting 0122 with a jazzy
guitar version of a holiday classic
Things seemed to be more auroral here in Alberta, being a bit further
north, with the strongest station on 1540 being KMPC from CA, rather
than the the regular KXEL. Plenty of IBOC noise from KFBK didn't help
either.Heard zero from the first test, but was rewarded with some
very weak
I didn't even bother trying for this one, because of local virtually
un-nullable CHIN. WYTH-1250 test next week is another no-go for me because
of JOY-1250.

Thanks Saul for the info here and setting this up, and a new catch.

A great test indeed! Thanks to Saul and everyone involved in setting this test
up. Reminded me of the good old days when we had lots of them to shoot for.

From Whitby ON, just West of Toronto, CHIN just about disappeared when I

Test coordinator Jim Pogue. And to chief engineer Craig Baker for running
it. This is among the most widely heard of tests, from the UK to Oregon,
from Alberta to Colorado to New Jersey. With more reports to hear about,
1540 is generally a channel to avoid here, thanks to the power trio of CHIN,
WDCD and KXEL - they all blast me with their nighttime DA's. You guys down
south have it easy! To make it even more challenging, I was too tired to sty
up for the test. At 2330 when I hit the sack, CHIN was on top
On reviewing all of the recordings, I also heard code ID's at the beginning of
the second test, although much weaker. Otherwise, the 1539 het was the biggest
problem, although WDCD was noticeable by format a few times.
I was very fortunate to get the 0121-25 fade-up. Had there been a voice ID
Thanks to Jim Pogue and Craig Baker for the fun at one this morning EST.

I listened to the first part. It was fair, but I am a bit close for really good

Heard 5 or 6 CW IDs, several address announcements and some Christmas music,
from 0101 to 0130 EST. The CW IDs were very clear, as well as one or two of

noise and state that they were playing a music safari, but no

Albany in SE Ohio about 12 miles SW of Athens. I suspect somebody forgot to
turn the transmitter off as they are listed as a daytimer. The same may have
been true of whoever it was that had oldies as there but a few 1530s with even
flea power at night and none of them play oldies.

Yes, it was a great fun DX Test. I was surprised the difference between
the 0100 and the 0200 tests. I could barely get the morse code during
the first test. It was there, but I was wondering if I could get a QSL
out of it, as copying the code was impossible, it was so weak, plus
even hearing it
Willis,
So yours was the opposite. The first WKVQ was stronger? I guess the
distant skip got better by 0200. As the test at 0100 was very poor. I am
glad Craig ran two tests. That would be nice if more stations ran the 2
teats.

During the mild auroral conditions of the past couple of nights I've
been hearing a Spanish language station on 1710 (well, actually about
1709.91), and last night I finally heard an ID as Radio Luz de Vida

tell me where it

WKVQ's DX test blasted in here last night as expected with 10 kW ND. Today I
listened presunset for sunset skip to that direction and the high end didn't
disappoint with WAOS 1600 coming in a bit prior to 1700 CST. Dual ID also for
WXEM on the hour and slogan is now La Mejor. I checked 1540
Way too big a signal from them here in NE IL. Years ago, this was a flagrant
abuser very often running day power at night and I think they were fined for it.
