I tried for this around 5 a.m. EDT Saturday morning 14 JUL (2 a.m. PDT, 1000 UTC).
Since my outdoor antennas don't work well in that direction, I just used the Kaito KA1103 portable. After all, the interference level of the two dominant domestics (CBE-ON and WDZK-CT), in roughly the same direction as desired KXTO, sets the required sensitivity floor. Sorry to say that all I heard was CBE about 60% of the time on top, WDZK about 35%, and a mushy mess the other 5% (that included one sweep that sounded more 'Cuban wobbler-esque' than DX test style). Slopover from huge adjacents WDCD-1540 and WQEW-1560 was also a challenge at times.

Miami station (Coral Gables) in very well with it's Spanish language programming. Also hearing "The Whobbler" at times...usual mix of regulars, but nothing else. Haven't seen any reports of anyone logging the test yet. We'll hope for better results tonight.
