Thanks to Dan Oetting for arranging the WSRY DX Test. I'm not going for a QSL as not enough made it to tape.
I followed the fun along, with the IRCA reflector and I listened from 0000 to 0100 on both the Grundig S-350 and "baby brother" Eton E-100. Well, I heard the DX test, but just barely. Man was it hard! The Ontario DX'ers and even George Sherman in MN seemingly had easier times with it. The pattern surely favored them more than I and I have two all nighters on roughly the same beam (right down I-70). I caught enough snippets of code ID but some of the progressive tones were the items that stood out. The tones were roughly heard at :11, :23 and :55. WMDH (New Castle, IN) and SS (WDLR-OH) put WSRY in a distant third spot. CBE-ON is very rare here, thankfully. I had never ID'ed WDLR so it's new also (now to ID the SS on 1480, which must be MI and my Far Eastern on 1040).
Barry - WDLR is now La Que Buena.
1550 WSRY MD Elkton 11-29 0010 DX test. Poor w/progressive tones and just barely enough CW ID (Vp) to log. Trying to fight through WMDH-IN and WDLR-OH. Thanks to Dan Oetting! NEW! DH-IN
1550 WDLR OH Delaware 11-29 0059 F-G w/SS hits and La Que Buena slogans, o/local WMDH. FINALLY an ID at 0059. Have heard for a few years but never ID'ed. NEW! DH-IN

The all night talker that has been under WCCO for the past week has been solved!!! Just before 0100, early Saturday morning they came out of some talk show and there were all kinds of boings, beeps and other sounds, followed by WKTX calls and mention of the CoL, Cortland, Ohio. This one is new to both logs. They are a 1 Kw daytimer, obviously on late. My old (1991) NRC log mentions they can operate until LSS at WCCO but not 24 hours! :) I also found this on the web, so they've been doing this for over a week:
http://boards.radio-info.com/smf/index.php/topic,155672.msg1320032.html
The news is USA but the programming is IRN, IIRC. Thanks to all who offered up suggestions. I really thought that this was PA but am pleasantly surprised.
Earlier Friday evening, I logged WTAR 850 VA for the first time.

Noticed this morning that 810 WSYW was blaring its MX music at 0505 EST. They are daytimer, no? My guess is that their automation is screwed up, due to last weekends time change. If you need WSYW, I'd try tomorrow after 0500 EST. I missed their sign on announcement but WGY was there at 0457 and it was "tuba'd out" by WSYW's music 10 minutes later. 810 WSYW INDIANAPOLIS IN 250 ----- NDA SPAN/SP AC LA QUE BUENA EX-WGRT/WATI 73, Dave Hascall Indy


Last night was VERY frustrating as lots of "Murphy's law," IBOC noise and generally up and down conditions.
830 unID 0100 11/5 IN ALL NIGHT! P under WCCO w/IRN News and then the Dr. Lauren Rogers show (?). Heard at 0500 too. Always fell at TOH time. DH-IN
890 unID 1855 11/4 LOUD regional mexican station. Of course faded (and WLS played something very bassy) at TOH. Heard some ID but it was in a megaphone and could not determine the slogan. Nothing seems to fit on Barry's website. DH-IN
I added Muskegon, MI 850 to the ULR log. Equal to KOA @ times.

Could your 890 be WYAM Hartselle-Decatur, AL? They were spanish/mexican of some sort last I knew.   Paul
