Good Evening:
In checking out 940 tonight I have noticed two dominant stations. One is semi
local Spanish station KWBY Woodburn, Or. The other is a Spanish station
playing children singing in Spanish. Anyone know who this might be? Trying to
null these two down. Help appreciated.

WFAW 940 DX Test heard here w/sweep tones at 00:18 CST, not much else so
far. CX to the NW are good w/CJGX dominant on 940. Also heard CKLQ on 880
earlier.

Niel Wolfish and I have swep tones and occasional bits
of morse code, at Burnt River ON (north of Toronto).
Montreal is clearly dominant with Rollye James hosting
C2C talk about UFOs. Country music is likely Yorkton
SA. There's a sports talker in there to the south
which may be WGRP Greenville PA
Tentatively heard here in GA at 0152 with sweep tones way under
station playing black Gospel. Unfortunately I lost the adapter to
hook my computer to the NRD 545 so no audio. Oh well. That's how it goes.

At 0233 EST, I did hear a very slow, clear and strong CW signal sending "WFAW"
repeated 3 times. They rose up on top of WNRG in Virginia, then QSBed. Nothing
else heard.
I was about to give it up and go to bed. Glad I waited.

Just a reminder of the WFAW DX Test beginning at midnight tonight. Full
details are available here:

Also, CE Ernie Swanson says he'll be happy to accept pre-paid phone calls at
the transmitter site during the test. Unfortunate

Likely KWRU Fresno on 940.

Pat,
Thank you for the information on KWRU Fresno on 940. They must be the old
KFRE? Hope I can get an ID out of KWRU, would be a new station here.
No signs of code, just those two Spanish stations. Have them phased to S-8 and
getting some deep fades ever now and then.
Dennis,

Sweep tones heard here right off the bat and weakly right now, so they
ARE running. Tuff copy through Montreal and others despite me being
only 40 miles from WFAW,

I managed to subdue Montreal with my phaser. Now I have a station with a
preacher and a station with country-type gospel.
Everyone, you are invited to join us on the #mwdx chat room where you
can get live updates of the test.

They were pretty good here at 0129 Pat. I got at least two Morse Code
IDs and 940 is really cluttered with at least 5 maybe 6 or 7 other
stations popping up.
Keep at it.

Running the white flag up the old antenna tower here as I surrender to
the government authorized iBLOC jammer located 4 miles east of me
(KKFN). It's doing a fine job of keeping those nasty DX signals between
940 and 960 kHz out of my receiver.
A real thank you to the folks who put this test toget

Ran to the store and heard the sweep tones on my car stereo.
When I got back home I thought I heard "Auld Lang Syne" around 02:55 CST.

Just a comment and suggestion. I'm still listening to my mp3 recordings, but
suspect I won't be hearing the DX test. A large number of people reported
hearing or tentatively hearing WFAW. I was quite confused over the times,
though.
Some use EST, others CST, and quite a few others state no ti
Thx Walt,
As a ham, a SWL, and MW DXER, I much prefer the use of
UTC times as well. Occasionally I will use local times
for MW DX reception reports though.

Neil,
My choice would be UTC for everything, being a foreign DXer, however,
since so many DXers are domestic, that would not be too popular. I know
of several avid domestic DXers that never even think in the term of UTC.

No luck with the WFAW 940 test last night. One local Spanish station and an
out of state Spanish station could not be phased very well. Thanks

Not sure, heard what sounded like slow CW 0210 but WNRG Grundy, VA has been
to strong while they are still on day power and pattern. Very weak.
Did hear what sounded like a sweep tone at 0156, but not sure of that.
WFAW must have a pattern that nulls to their south east.

The first reports on last night's DX Test from WFAW are coming in. It looks

WFAW DX Test Final Report
I think we have the majority of reports in, and many DXers were able to
overcome the challenges presented low power with a rather crowded channel
and put WFAW into their logs. For many it was only sweep tones and Morse
code, but that's just fine in my book. Here's th
