I likewise received the test in Maylene, AL (near Birmingham). Like Willis, I heard several Morse Code ID's, but the tone sounded very distorted. Rather than a nice pure sine wave, it did seem to have a raspy sound, similar to a keyed (true CW) transmitter with a power supply problem.
Still it was easy copy on both the Icom 746Pro and the SDR-IQ. Thanks to Paul for the test! I'll look forward to trying again later this week. 73, Les Rayburn, director High Noon Film 100 Centerview Drive Suite 111 Birmingham, AL 35216-3748 205.824.8930 205.824.8960 fax 205.253.4867 cell -------------------------------------------------- From: "Saul Chernos" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, February 08, 2008 8:23 AM To: "Mailing list for the International Radio Club of America" <[email protected]> Cc: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: [NRC-AM] Who heard WABV TEST? > Did anyone hear the WABV test? > > I see only one report from Willis in TN and it appears he did. > > I was able to get a signal on 1590, and a pretty good one at that, but > sadly it was WAKR in Akron OH with something weak behind it (but no code > or sweeps or anything weird heard). > > Saul / Toronto > > _______________________________________________ > The NRC AM mailing list > nrcdxas.org > > _______________________________________________ IRCA mailing list [email protected] http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/irca Opinions expressed in messages on this mailing list are those of the original contributors and do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the IRCA, its editors, publishing staff, or officers For more information: http://www.ircaonline.org To Post a message: [email protected]
