[HCDX] WNTP 990 kHz Philadelphia, PA DX Test



WNTP 990 kHz Philadelphia, PA DX Test

Date: Saturday morning (late Friday night), Feb. 23, 2008. Time: Midnight -1
a.m. Eastern Time, 0500 ? 0600 UTC. From midnight until 12:30 a.m. the
station will test with their new daytime pattern and 50 KW power. From 12:30
until 1 a.m. they will test with their non-directional pattern and 12.5 KW
power. Previous non-directional tests have been conducted at 5 KW, and this
higher power should give more listeners a chance to hear this station.
?We?ll especially be running a lot of sweep tones since they seem to get the
best results. Morse IDs, steady 2 kHz tones, and some odd ball music ? which
I have yet to pick,? says Chief Engineer and DXer René Tetro. Reception
reports may be sent to René at WNTP, 117 Ridge Pike, Lafayette Hill, PA
19444. E-mail reception reports may also be submitted to rtetro@xxxxxxxxxx
?If sending an audio recording, I prefer CD or mp3 (MP3s can be an
attachment to an e-mail, provided the size doesn?t exceed 3-4 mb),? René
adds. No eQSL service is being offered for this test. This is the fourth
year in a row that René will conduct a test over WNTP, but this higher
transmitter power opens up lots of new possibilities. NOTE: All requests for
verifications must be accompanied by return postage in order to receive a
reply. Many thanks to René for his great support over the years to DXers and
our hobby, and in particular for conducting this test.
