I got a letter back from the KRSN test and the tones I heard did not
match their sweep tones. Nothing on the CD matched their programming. Oh
well, it was worth a shot. A nice bumper sticker and fridge magnet was
enclosed, so that was nice. Hopefully when they test again, I can give
it another
Did you make a recording?

KRSN test heard here on barefoot Sony SRF-T615 at 796 km (494 mi). Only the
Morse (CW) and sweep tones came through QRM from KDMO, Carthage MO.
ULR station #946 (barefoot #934) / New Mexico #25 / YTD #35.
My thanks to those responsible for arranging the test.

Hi this is Curtis Mcmenamin in Vacaville California I had my sony icf 2010 with
my kiwa loop from 11:00pm to 11:10pm PST was also surprised to hear the test
morse code and sweep tones are what I heard 2:00am to 2:10am EST. nice to here
them got them verified from the test years ago.
No luck on the DX test here in southern Alberta. Conditions didn't seem
that favourable, with CJSN much more dominant than it usually is at night.

Chances of hearing the KRSN 1490 DX test would have been difficult enough
at my distance to start with. However, they are made all but impossible due
to the splatter of local WLMV 1480 with its Latin music format. In order to
null this splatter out I have to turn the loop so that it points

Walt,
Interesting. I wonder if we did hear the test? Then. I am glad I am not
the only one to report the sweep tones. The SW EWE is what brought it
in and I found the Eastern beverage is too directional to the East on
1490. Thanks.

I'm not sure what sweep tones are, but I heard a short series of tones
getting progressively higher in frequency. Just one series of maybe 5
notes. Jim Springfield Mass.

Tried a different approach in Victoria. Watched my Perseus at 25 kHz
bandwidth so anything coming up was easily seen. I did see/hear a
tone at about 07:03:30 measuring about 2200 Hz for several seconds.
Captured this with the snip-it tool. Anyone else hear a tone at that

Local KLOG 1490 is 10.6 miles to the North of my location can
hopefully be phased out during the KRSN test. I have KLOG phased

Dennis,
I just tuned the R8 to 1490. Hopefuly I can catch the test this time.
The test i could not hear I am not sure if the SW EWE or the Eastern
beverage would be better as the SW EWE does have a lobe to the SW/SSE.
The Beverage may be too directional to the East. But it gets KKOB.

No sign of KRSN, KLOG came up a few times, but a jumble of stations.
Will try Saturday evening.

KRSN-1490 Los Alamos, NM test made it here quite easily in null of my

various combinations of code ID's, sweep tones, and vocal ID's, quite
dominant, first 1/2 of test seemed stronger than 2nd half, ran lower

I may have had a few faint bits of Morse Code on 1485 kHz. At least
that's how it looked on the receiver's waterfall display, and sounded to
my ears. But there wasn't enough there to remotely constitute an ID,
and it was probably just wishful thinking on my part. It was also much
slower
Talk about pulling teeth. Local KFFN, 5.3 miles away, made it just a week bit
difficult! The tightest null I could get was almost north-south which was
about 45 degrees from ideal. This was with my ULR Tecsun PL-310. I did hear
high pitched sweep tones, phone off the hook tone and code that

strongest at 0303
Listened for the KRSN-1490 test, from 0300-0310 EST, but only a bunch of
other stations mixing with each other. Nothing resembling code or sweep
tones. Thought I caught a couple of IDs from other stations and will
re-check the tape later today. Mileage here would have been about 1625
