I was saddened, but not too surprised, to read this morning that someone was denigrating whoever inquired of the FCC as to the source of the tone testing that many of us have been monitoring. The complainer's statements pretty well boiled down to the contention that we shouldn't be

It seems to me that a lot of people posting on this subject are making assumptions -- because they have to given the paucity of reliable and/or verifiable public info. I don't believe that anyone has, so far, based on what has been posted, gone to the FCC painting themselves as a DX'er. Glenn

Dear Mr Miller: Would you please identify the source (location, licensee and any other available info) of the continuous tone tests which were running on 1610 kHz last week, and then on 1020 kHz Saturday? Numerous listeners have heard them, and they seem to come from somewhere along the
