Re: KWKH 1130 The Tiger - Strong Signal into SE Houston
Thanks for the reply. I also liked KWKH better when they used the country format. I grew up in the Shreveport-Bossier City area, so listening to country music on KWKH was a given. KWKH was my

Re: KKOH NV DX Test Heard in Central Indiana
Less,
The CW was the most noticeable. I think I heard sweeps and marching music as well but they were so faint I wasn't sure about it.

Re: KWKH 1130 The Tiger - Strong Signal into SE Houston
Nice catch for a bargain radio. KWKH has made it to here in SoCal at times. I kind of miss their former country music format.

Listening to KWKH 1130 Shreveport, LA - “1130 The Tiger Fox Sports Shreveport Louisiana” - booming signals at 1837 CDT on 20 Feb 2020. I’m using my new Dreamsky DS-213 that I bought on Amazon

Re: KKOH NV DX Test Heard in Central Indiana
Jim,
There seems to have been a nice “pipeline” from Reno to Massachusetts! Several reception reports from New England. Congratulations!
I literally had not a trace of the test here in Alabama,

Re: KKOH NV DX Test Heard in Central Indiana
I was just reviewing my recording of the kkoh test. The morse code around 12:04 est sounds like kcos. I also heard a series of 32 or 33 sweep tones around 2:56 or 1:56 est. Jim in Springfield Ma.

So glad that you heard the KKOH test. I listened to it on my Ultralight Sangean DT160 and heard WBBM here in SoCal as well. Mike Sanburn

Re: KKOH NV DX Test Heard in Central Indiana
Reguarding the KKOH DX-test, I was also, able to hear Morse code beginning at 2:04 a.m. Central Time, lasting only a few minutes, under WBBM's city news format.
The equipment used was a PL-600 + TCF

Congratulations on the reception! We provided KKOH with the DX Test material which included the Morse Code ID’s that you heard. These were recorded at 700 Hz and 10 words-per-minute. The test

At about 0304 ET I heard unmistakable CW ID for KKOH, Reno Nevada. Thank you to Paul Walker, the station and everyone else involved.
The code ID was under WBBM. I never heard anything else and I
