[IRCA] WYTH was MIA in So Calif; when's next DX test?

I tried with my PL-606 & Select-A-Tenna to receive 1250-WYTH, but I never even heard any hint of code or sweep tones, and gave up about 15 minutes into the second test. (I had listened for the entire first test.) Other stations (at least 3 that would have been individually identifiable) on 125

[IRCA] WYTH Test

After having been gone since early this morning, I just started checking recordings. I'd left both 2010's running on 1250, one aimed right at WYTH, and the other somewhat off. The one aimed at WYTH seems to be mostly CJYE, but the other yielded sweeps, a code ID and more sweeps 0103-04. While

[IRCA] WYTH-1250 a no-show in Nebraska

Thought I might've heard something that sounded like a code ID at 0113 ELT, but KYYS in Kansas City was just too strong.  :( I did get a nice verie letter yesterday from KBRF-1250 (my first QSL from this QTH), so the weekend isn't a total loss. 73, Rick Dau South Omaha, NE Sony ICF-2010 + Q

[IRCA] WYTH Test Heard in Ottawa

Just got a chance to check my overnight recordings... at 0100 EDT, I had an annoying 1 kHz het (1251 Libya?), so I quickly moved on to the second test segment. Some inconclusive tones were heard under the Disney din, but then at 0206.22 I hit paydirt, with some weak but unmistakable code... it

Each posting has a web link. This means any of us can go in whenever we want and look at the current indices. I'cve never thought about it before, but I'd imagine that anyone who wants to receive e-mail notifications at a particular can pretty much do what Craig has done for the lists. Saul

Re: [IRCA] WWV Solar Report

Your present times work fine Craig, but if I was fine tuning it just for myself, I'd have it update just before my evening listening time, say around UT (1900EST), and then again just before my morning listening time, say 1200UT (0700EST).To generalize for North America, how about k

[IRCA] WYTH DX TEST Heard in Michigan

I stayed up for the first test from 0500-0530 UTC but heard nothing. I went to bed and set the Perseus to record (via WinradHD) from 0600-0630 UTC and caught the following action: Distinct sweep tones were heard here at 0605 UTC, 0608 UTC, and possibly 0617 UTC. Then at 0628 UTC another sweep to

[IRCA] WYTH DX TEST

Heard starting at 0100, VERY weak. All I could hear was the CW IDs which sounded like it was sent on phone key board, sweep tones and Christmas music from the last DX test. No voice IDs heard. Very ruff copy with lots of QRM. Willis, K4APE Old Fort, TN __
