Asemille kannatta l�hett�� vaan hyvi� nauhoituksia, jos aseman IDi ei tule puhtaasti l�pi, niin parempi yritt�� itse onkia ne detaljit esiin ja l�hett�� sitten tavallinen raportti. Minulla oli LEM197:n aikana ongelmana t�m� WFIF-1500 daytimeri joka kyll� kuului v�lill� hyvin, mutta siell� oli WTOP ja WLQV (supervarhain) painamassa p��lle. Niin melkein koko ajan oli 2, joskus 3 asemaa ��ness� yht�aikaa. Joten oli todella vaikea seurata WFIF joka oli uusi minulle. Tasatunnin IDi oli kuitenkin kiistaton, vaikka WTOP puhui samanaikaisesti. Yritin parhaani mukaan onkia ne oikeat detaljit esiin, mutta pari virhett� tuli, ja niihin asema kiinnitti huomionsa aika lailla. Huomasin ett� kaveri toisella puolella oli radio amat��ri (kutsu N1NKM) niin p��tin sitten l�hett�� wav-tiedoston miss� kyseinen TOH-idi olikin, ja v�h�n muutakin. Yll�tt�v� vastaus heti seuraavana p�iv�n� miss� aseman insin��ri on kaivanut esiin aikalailla komentteja lis��. S��tiedotus ennen tasaa olikin yht�kki� WFIF:n my�s, mik� v�h�n ep�ilin mutta en uskaltanut v�itt�� WFIF:ksi koska pelk�sin ett� se oli WTOP. Kannattaa my�s huomoida WFIF eritt�in my�nteinen suhtautuminen meihin DX-kuuntelijoihin, sek� miten asema mieluiten haluaa saada raportit, ja ilman muuta ollaan kuulolla sitten tammikuussa kun WFIF l�hett�� testit...

Thank you for the WAV file! Yes, that was DEFINATELY us! The female weather reporter was ours! You can hear her say "This is Ellen Wiessberg with the WFIF Weather update!" just before the station ID. I recognized our station theme music between the station ID and the Songtime theme. (I INSTANTLY recognized the theme music of the program, "Songtime USA" which followed the station ID.) Yes, we were carrying Songtime at 6pm, Eastern, on October 20'th. (No newscast.) So, consider your reception report 100% confirmed. :)
The Songtime theme sounds a little bit like a newscast theme, electronic synthesizer. Because I am so familiar with our programming, I can assure you that our signal was stronger than you think. :) It "jumped out" at me quite distinctly as I listened. Now that you know what the WX lady says, you will probably hear her voice "jump out" at you, next time you listen to it. :)
If you are involved in DX clubs there, please pass the word along that I *much* prefer E-mail reception reports over regular mail. (Post on DX bulentins, etc.) This will save your club members some money. :) We can accept audio in WAV or MP3 formats with no problem. As long as the file is less than 2 megs, we have no problem downloading it. I enjoy DX reports, but like I said, really prefer them in E-mail format. Audio clips very definately help with the confirmation, as yours did. :)
Although I am a Ham Operator, I generally do not actually do any DXing... I know what it is and how it works, and I admire those of you who do this as a hobby. It takes a lot of work to string those long antennas in such cold conditions! I could never do that!
If it works out, there is a possibility that I may transmit a DX TEST from WFIF in January.
Have a very Merry CHRISTmas!
73 & Good DX!
Willie... Engineer, WFIF
