[IRCA] Newspaper article about WLPO DX Test

["Jim Pogue" <KH2AR@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear fellow DXers,

 

I got a phone call from a reporter with the La Salle, Illinois News Tribune
? owned by the same folks who own WLPO ? asking about the upcoming DX Test.
He is writing an article about it, and I did a brief interview with him. He
asked that I get with him ASAP after the test on Oct. 27 and let him know
about how many people heard it and at what distance.

 

As soon as possible after the test, I?m asking everyone who hears it to send
me an e-mail. In addition to telling me that you heard the test, I?d also
invite your ?non-technical? comments about the test as well. Most readers
don?t care about weird tones and Morse code, but if you are thrilled to hear
the sound of an announcer?s voice from far away north-central Illinois, that
kind of comment is something average readers can understand.

 

This is a great opportunity to build some goodwill for our hobby, and I will
be able to include a clipping of the story in future DX test requests to
other stations. Thanks for your help.
