Re: [IRCA] [NRC-AM] Re: [AMFMTVDX] KBOI DX Test?

["Les Rayburn" <les@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Yeah...and maybe we could get Con Ed to cut the power to the East Coast grid
to reduce interference while we're at it.

Come on guys...you don't know what you're asking for in terms of 
coordination,
negotiations, etc. The Montana tests took almost two years to pull off, for
example.

If Bill can arrange for a full power test from KBOI or even some inventory 
inserts
overnight, that would be great, and put Idaho in a lot of logbooks. Let's be 
grateful
for whatever we get, especially since Bill hasn't even had a chance to 
respond yet.

This reminds me of the daily requests that I receive by cell phone and 
e-mail
asking me to arrange for a specific station to test, sometimes coordinated 
with
another station's silent period, etc. I understand the desire to put new 
ones
in the logs, but some of this amounts to "Santa, this year for Christmas, 
I'd like..."

Let's take it one step at a time, and see how it goes. If Bill agrees, I'll 
be happy to
approach WSCR, and so on. But I'm not willing to put another year into 
setting
up a major DX event right now.
