[IRCA] WMRO 1560khz DX Test Update

["Les Rayburn" <les@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

News from Scott Bailey at WMRO today. The "Inventory Insert" DX test is now 
running each night
from Midnight until 4AM Central Time. It runs at approximately :05 minutes 
after the hour, right
after CNN news.

They're running only their legal nighttime power of 0.003kw non-directional, 
so this one
is going to be tough. Despite that, I heard them with ease from Birmingham 
last night,
including their normal, legal voice ID at the TOH. Sweep Tones and Morse 
Code
were easy copy.

According to Scott, the test will likely continue to run for months. At some 
point, if they
have maintenance, we may be able to get a limited test at daytime power 
levels.

On a personal note, Scott's father has been seriously ill lately. Please 
keep him
in your thoughts and prayers.

Also, don't forget WWNH 1340khz test coming up this weekend. Great chance to 
log
a rare state!

73,
