[HCDX] KEVT DX Test

["Richard Brock" <radioboy@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello DXers,
                   I regret to report that my attempt at hearing KEVT during the test was a flop. I had overwhelming QRM from WPHT in Philadelphia, Pa. and couldn't null them enough using my home brew directional outdoor loop. I switched to my long wire and managed to mostly null them using the MFJ Versatuner II but then all I ended up with was a mish mash of at least four stations down in the mud causing somewhat of a het and making all unreadable. I tuned up on 1210 KHZ at 0700 UTC and worked at receiving their signal for two hours before giving up. At least four times I briefly heard Spanish but not readable and at the top of each hour I couldn't copy any station Id's in English. Needless to say I couldn't get enough for a good reception report to send to them. I guess that there's too many miles between KEVT and me. I hope that other DXers had better results than I did. Good DX to all!
