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!
Thanks for the test, but I have no luck tonight Oct. 21st-22nd here in Montreal.

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.
Sweeps, Beeps and Morse Code comin' in here tonight in Northeast Georgia...

Best yet reception of the weekly WODI test tonight. Both code and sweeps were heard until 6 minutes past the hour. Unfortunately I failed to click the litttle red dot "record" on the WinRadio! Doh!
