Re: [IRCA] WVNN-770 DX Test

["Les Rayburn" <les@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

No problem, J.D. I did receive one or two e-mails 
from others who saw your original post and took
it's meaning to be that the test wasn't happening. 
Unfortunate....but I take the amateur radio
approach to DXing--- 

"Log them first-worry later" 

Or in this case, I'd rather stay up late listening for test
that was cancelled than assume it was and miss
out on the chance to log a new one. 

For the record, WVNN is testing tonight and tomorrow
night. From my monitoring, the tests run within
a few minutes of both TOH and BOH, with
a fair amount of other "inserts" thrown in during
other parts of the hour.
