What program was on what you think was KSFO, Tim? I had Bill Handel's "Handel on the Law" on KBLU (Yuma, AZ) ripping 560 to shreds here in El Cajon. KBLU is normally directional with their main wide lobe to the south, nulls to the northwest and northeast and a minor lobe to the north at night, and non-directional daytime, running 1 kW fulltime. This is the first time I've had them at night (they can be faintly heard during the day on a good radio) - normally KSFO is dominant at night. There were other stations noticeable under KBLU (in KSFO's null for the test), but I was unable to ID anything, and so I don't think I heard any part of the WFIL test on my PL-606 + Select-A-Tenna.

After about a half hour, I logged onto a remote Perseus SDR located in Cocoa, FL. and also heard and saw the sweep tones on the waterfall display - they were easily visible. I thought it would be interesting to check some other remotes, so I logged onto Token's Perseus located in the Mojave Desert, CA. Under presumed KSFO and near the end of the test, I could hear a faint sweep tone and could also visually see the faint but distinguishable lines drawn on the waterfall display. If had been thinking faster, I would have captured a screenshot showing the sweep tone on the waterfall display. By the time I thought of this, the test had ended. Thanks to all who coordinated this test - a new one for my logbook!
