My alarm didn't go off - must have forgot to set it. But awoke at 0230 EST
after an intense, horrible dream about the electoral primaries and managed
to get some morse code on 1150 underneath a dominant CKOC. This was using
the SRF-59. Unneeded here and at Burnt River. I tried my Sony ICF2003
Have we been suckered? Is all this SRF-59 stuff pure hype, contrived by
iBiquity to head off criticism of IBOC that was dominating the DX lists.

Correct me if I'm wrong, I think DX means it switches to allow more distant,

I have a clip of the area of the portion of the test, around 02:18, where I
had heard music with a very doiminant accordion. The clip sounds very much

sound even better but I did not hear these. Just a brief fade-up of

DX TEST -- 960 CFFX ON Kingston
TIME: Early morning of Tuesday
I suspected mischief might be afoot, but went to my local Future Shop to
look at the radio. I knew to expect an ultralight, but when I saw this
two-ouncer floating in mid-air, above its rack, I truly thought that IBOC
interference had left a few of this hobby's finest ... uh, how can I put it
In the meantime, why don't we all just sit back, and be thrilled to DX
with it?
I was trying to accomplish two things with my e-mail. Well, three, actually.
First I was trying to explain that I was initially skeptical that an
ultralight could perform well on AM, but then pleasantly
950 has WWJ MI, Radio Reloj Cuba, someone doing country (NB?) and a talker.
