Just went over my tape from last night and was delighted to hear a clear WIMA code ID fairly early into the test. That was as good as it got, as although I noted a couple of other instances of weak code, neither was nearly as good as that first one. KSAL, KSEN, and CKFR were dominating th

I was able to get enough of a null on KKNW (7 miles away) to have CKFR Kelowna sometimes on top but mostly in the background. It was the first time I can remember hearing two different Hockey games on the same channel (Seattle Thunderbirds on KKNW, Kelowna Rockets on CKFR). Thanks to those who se

NW Seattle. Got a very good null on KKNW only to find CKFR dominant. I recorded the last 15 minutes but I was listening as well and didn't hear any code or tones. Will check the recording just in case. Thanks for the test... I'm still waiting to hear my first test this season. Please continue to

Alas, same here near Seattle, with 6,000 watt 1150-KKNW only 15-20 degrees off of the beam to Lima, Ohio. I got a good audio phase null on KKNW, superior to the whip/long wire null, but that allowed 1160-KSL's IBOC hiss to take over. Thanks to the organizers - hopefully many of you out there pick

Good Morning, No chance of hearing the WIMA 1150 Test here. Local KXMG 1150 is S-9 +50 db. Thats a great signal for a station with 47 watts at night and beaming the signal Southwest. I'm NW of them at 5 miles. The only chance I have might be nulling KXMG with the Utralight Sony SRF-59. M

WIMA-1150 DX Test heard very weakly from 0200-0215 EST with Morse code IDs every couple of minutes way under CKOC, CHGM, and WTTT. No voice announcements or marching music made it through. Morse code tone seemed to be lower than 1000 Hz. Heard using a Sony ICF-2010 with a Radio West loop. Steve
