Well here is the scoop. I missed the DX test, I got crossed up on which day it was on (Saturday AM).
But I try to tune WYTH 1250 AM in at night earlier in the week on 2 recievers, a Uniden BC370CRS w/the stock AM loop antenna that comes w/it, & a DX390 w/a KAITO KA33 MW/SW loop antenna set for MW.
I heard what sounded like 2 signals but they were so weak that I couldn't pull either of them out of the mud.
They were un-intelligible.
Conclusion: I need to put up a 100' long wire & try again, after I find my glasses.
I misplaced them in the house & need them to drive/read/send emails & etc.
N0JAA said that that station would be a bugger to receive & he was right.
Thanks
