3.45 ** WCPH-AM 1220 Etowah, TN - Very poor with DX Test: Sweep tones. Heard them again at :58. Thanks for the Test; new catch!
3.50 ** -AM 1220 - Faded up fair with Christmas records, would switch without saying anything. As I'd heard "This is a test broadcast..." prior to the one here, I suspect it may have been part of WCPH's Test, but have not received a definite answer. Had lots of QSB, and was not heard after 4.00.
Wish I had more, but been working a ton. Cx been lousy when off. SRS Friday and Sunday morning was a bust. Such is life...
