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 the list of listeners who have
indicated they heard the test:
Saul Chernos Burnt River, ON, Canada
Pete Dernbach St. Louis, MO
Steve Francis Alcoa, TN
Bill Harms Elkridge, MD
Glenn Hauser Enid, OK
David Hochfelder Albany, NY
John Hunter Rossville, GA
Tom Jasinski Shorewood, IL
Chris Johnson Taylors, SC
Brandon Jordan Memphis, TN
Barry McLarnon Ottawa, ON, Canada
Willis Monk Old Fort, TN
Tim Noonan Oak Creek, WI
Jim Pogue Memphis, TN
Dave Pyatt Burlington, ON, Canada
Les Rayburn Birmingham, AL
Larry Russell Flushing, MI
Curtis Sadowski Paxton, IL
Brett Saylor Central PA
Doug Smith Menomonee Falls, WI
J.D. Stephens Hampton Cove, AL
John Wilke Milwaukee, WI
Bruce Winkelman Tulsa, OK
Niel Wolfish Burnt River, ON, Canada
Joe Wozniak St. Louis, MO
A great big thank you goes out to CE Ernie Swanson for the great test.
He was very happy with the results, and just informed me that he has gotten
the OK to conduct a test over another station he works for: WRDB - 1400 kHz
in Reedsburg, WI. This test on a local channel is going to be a real
challenge. But those of you who have been at this for awhile know that some
of our best DX tests have come from stations on the graveyard frequencies.
Thanks to everyone who tried for the test, and congratulations to those
who logged it. Ernie promises a nice QSL package, so get those reports in to
him soon.
We should have details on a test from a Virginia station put together
soon, plus Ernie has several other stations in the upper Midwest that are
good possibilities. And we have lots of other irons in the fire too. Check
the DXTESTS.INFO Web site frequently and listen to the BTC Podcasts for news
and late-breaking developments.
