Hearing marching band, morse code and tones here in the Hudson Valley, NY - 60 Miles northwest of NYC.
Heard 3 Morse Code ID's during the test. First DX test this season heard here in Winnipeg MB
Heard 3 morse code IDs, and Fred Vobbe's voice just for a bit before it ended. I'm only 30 miles away from Hamilton's CKOC on the same frequency, so that local was dominating throughout.
Used a DX-398 and Onkyo TX-4500 to hear it... both barefoot.
Thanks for the test!
