Re: [IRCA] KMTI 650 Manti UT

Hi Les, Great to hear from you. I had been wondering about the DXers who were active when I was. I saw Doug Smith W9WI in Dayton a couple of times. And has anyone heard from Saul Chernos? He was active with the DX tests also. VY 73 de Joe On Sat, Jan 26, 2019, 8:13 AM Les Rayburn Joe, > > I’m

Joe, I’m right here, lurking—and trying to find time to reorganize my shack. Once completed, I hope to be more active in BCB DXing again. Can it really be 12 years since that DX Test? Wow—how time flies. Congratulations on the catch, and best of DX to you Joe. 73, Les Rayburn, N1LF 121

This brings back pleasant memories... Hearing on 650 ABC News at the start of the hour, a fade, some country music, another fade. First thought was KSTI Rancho Cordova, but they are Westwood One, but the country music makes it KMTI. It's been almost 12 years since they had their DX test, and I

Re: [IRCA] KMTI Test at Burnt River ON

Have had several rounds of morse code. Hard to distinguish what's being said. Not sure what the other thing is underneath. Think I'll call it a night. Utah #2. Tried 1640 for SS and briefly sat on 1160, but nothing obvious. Also heard music on 840, Good Morning Starshine, but this may be a latin.

[IRCA] KMTI received in Memphus, TN

WSM was being a pain to fully null here in Memphis, and slop from local WCVR-640 on LSB. I wasn't have much luck in ECSS USB, AM or AM Synch and finally settled on tuning to 651 kHz in CW mode and narrow filtering. That did the trick, decent morse code and sweep tones from 0630 UTC onward.

[IRCA] KMTI: Sweeps made it to VT

KMTI-650 heard very weakly under WSM several separate times between 0309 and 0330 EDT with sweep tones, but no code or voice IDs, using my ICF-2010 and Radio West loop. No fancy phasable beverages for me. Not sure how clearly the sweeps will be on my cassette tape, or on conversion to an MP3

[IRCA] KMTI 650 heard in Maryland

The KMTI DX text was heard in Maryland. At 0242 3/19 heard a combination of sweep tones and code IDs through WSM and WSRO. The code sounds jumbled because of the interference, but you can tell it was code. The sweep tones came through just fine. Bill Harms Elkridge, Maryland 260 degree EWE

[IRCA] KMTI: Sweeps made it to PA

[IRCA] KMTI DX Test

KMTI is heard fairly often here, so did my DXing via the tape recorder last night.The sweeps made it through very well, and heard a number of code IDs. The only voice ID I heard was right at 12:00 MST, when CKOM was weaker than average. Also heard KGAB and KSTE during the test, but no

[IRCA] KMTI 650 and other UNID SS

KMTI 650khz test heard very well in Central Alabama. WSM continues to prove to be impossible to null here, despite trying a variety of antennas as inputs into the Quantum Phaser. Best reception proved to be using the Wellbrooke ALA1530 loop alone (unphased) and adjusting it for minimum signal

[IRCA] KMTI Test

Pretty much as expected, this one was a no-show from here. My bearing to KMTI is almost due west, whereas WSM is SW. Since I would be recording remotely, I knew that I had a better chance of aiming a bit to the North of where KMTI's normal bearing would be rather than nulling WSM and nulling

Like almost everyone else, I heard the KMTI test this morning. I was too tired to stay up for it (after having spent two nights chasing Trans Pacific DX ), so I left a mini-disc on 650 and headed off to bed. I recorded the whole test, which was quite dominant o/KSTE. CISL was mostly phased
