Test is being conducted by Mr. Larry Gamble, station owner/operator who will be retiring soon. He has done several DX Tests over the years. Mr. Gamble would prefer to verify reception reports via e-mail
only. Written reports or short
MP3 clips are sufficient
for verification.
Send e-mail reports to: Larry W. Gamble <mtkaat@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Tests Notes: Oakhurst is located in Central California near the Yosemite National Park. Past DX tests have resulted in reports from most of the Western US. Note too the use of television theme songs as
program material. Hopefully these
will be easier to pull out of the noise. An example might
be the theme from the
Addams Family, etc.
