Mike Sanburn- Although Mark Connelly did not mention it in his post, WDEV-550 VT is audible on groundwave all day long here on Cape Cod under WSJW Pawtucket, RI. They also dominate the channel pretty much every night with an antenna pointed Northwest. So, it's not much of a "catch" here. Mark & I live about 1.5 miles apart.
No criticism of anyone here - just telling it like it is. I had planned to record it just for the sake of helping other DXers who weren't sure if they heard it or not - something I often do when New England stations run DX Tests. Howver, with both the Red Sox and Patriots on TV and a family issue Friday night, I forgot all about WDEV. 73, Marc DeLorenzo South Dennis, Cape Cod, Massachusetts http://forums.wtfda.org/showthread.php?228-DeLorenzo-s-Classic-DX -----Original Message----- From: Mike Sanburn <[email protected]> To: Mailing list for the International Radio Club of America <[email protected]> Sent: Sat, Aug 17, 2013 4:07 pm Subject: Re: [IRCA] WDEV-550 test Congrats also to Mark Connelly on hearing the WDEV test. ----ms > To: [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected] > From: [email protected] > Date: Sat, 17 Aug 2013 15:25:11 -0400 > Subject: [IRCA] WDEV-550 test > > WDEV test heard well 0003-0009 EDT / 0403-0409 UTC, 17 AUG. > > > RI station way under with Catholic talk was only really noted after WDEV's audio stopped. > > > Programming: normal sign-off, Star Spangled Banner, then an assortment of > WDEV code ID's, CHU-like beeps, and sweep tones.
