I almost wonder if you could have had a small chance at it anyway? Last November I was able to log 594-JOAK from Tokyo, Japan (and even had weak audio) about 5600 miles west of me (great circle path more like northwest), even though I have a 5kW IBOC local, 600-KOGO, about 7.7 miles west (and slightly southwest) of me.
OTOH, I myself did try for 1250-WYTH, but didn't hear anything, neither did I hear much of a peep from the tester (forget their call atm) on 1540. (I think I may have heard one dit or dah from a code ID that sounded like the right type of sound based on what others were describing and a recording someone poste who did log them, but that's probably not enough to confirm an ID.) --- On Mon, 3/21/11, HASCALL, DAVID CIV DFAS <[email protected]> wrote: From: HASCALL, DAVID CIV DFAS <[email protected]> Subject: [IRCA] WYTH-1250 DX test - SLEPT THROUGH! To: [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] Cc: [email protected] Date: Monday, March 21, 2011, 5:01 AM I decided not to try for this one (long week). Most likely would have been a no-show, as 5 mile local WNDE-1260 insists on running their HD radio / IBOC noise generator. 1270 is actually worse than 1250 but nothing makes it through. I do appreciate Craig running this and the 1540 test, which I heard and verified. Craig - Hope that you will consider running future tests and would appreciate if you could "talk up" DX/Equipment tests with other stations / owner's groups.
