[IRCA] KRSN-1490 test

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. 73, Nigel Pimblett Dunmore, Alberta ___ IRCA mailing list IRCA@hard-core-dx.com

Test heard in NW Metro Phoenix area. Horrible QRM but sweep tones and code cut through it surprisingly well. Also even heard part of a vx ID around 12:04 (MST). - John S. ___ IRCA mailing list IRCA@hard-core-dx.com

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. 73, Patrick Patrick Martin Seaside OR KGED QSL Manager

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. -- www.fhu.com ___ IRCA mailing list IRCA@hard-core-dx.com

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 time? Otherwise,

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
