Here is the list of who heard what - or tried and didn't - or maybe did. Please excuse the delay in sending this. I am having computer troubles to the extreme. The only good news being that the new lap and notebook systems I've just bought are being set up this afternoon. This list is based on reports to four lists I subscribe to, and from people who have independently e-mailed me. Most cool, of course, is the reception in New Zealand of WKVQ, as well as various TA receptions. It's not meant to be a complete list of every one who heard the tests, but an indicator of where the tests were heard, or not heard, or possibly/marginally heard. Enjoy!

Wayne IN dominant OK Glenn Hauser - Nothing identifiable BC Nick Hall-Patch - Only tried second part of the test, no sign here ON Greg Shoom ON Saul Chernos - Not a hint with Oakville dominant 1250 WYTH GA MADISON - MAYBE HEARD: IL Paul Walker - Two real brief sweep tone type sound effects; other then that, the signal is buried in the mud and can't tell if the music is form WYTH or someone else MO Earl Higgins - Occasional weak tones around 1:03 and 1:09 ELT, not really enough to put into the log books, so for now this will have to be the one that got away NE Rick Dau - Might have heard something that sounded like a code ID at 0113 ELT, but KYYS in Kansas City just too strong OR Pat Martin - Getting tones and sounded like weak morse code a couple of times. Once at :22, but hard to tell. I really did not expect to hear anything, but something is in there. I will try again next hour. PA Mark Clark - Way too much WDDZ but there seemed to be a weak morse ID in the mud at 0123, otherwise nothing -30- _______________________________________________ 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]
