Hello,

Heard your test signal on Sunday October 8 at just after midnight (EDT). From this distance, the test tones were faint but audible, and I am glad to have heard.

Just before the test began, I heard Paul Rodgers and Bad Company singing "Alright Now" in the background of several stations. I think this was WBPV in Lock Haven Pennsylvania. Did anyone else happen to hear this as well?

... heard with some fairly good sweep tones from 0000-0004 EDT and around 0005 something sounding like a mild beep beep / beep beep / beep beep / ...

In downtown Toronto ON in the car. Didn't have to go too far mobile - in front of my house was good enough.

Thanks Dave et al at WODI!

No luck on the Oct 15 test. I went back through the IF recording a few times to see if I could something out. I thought I heard a few beebs and maybe a sweep tone here and there, but nothing I remotely count as hearing the test.

Thanks WODI, I will try again next week!

Brandon Jordan and I DXing together in Memphis caught sweep tones at the TOH so assume this was them. Been trying for several weeks to hear them and finally glad we did.
