Additional info regarding CFFX DX Test 


The BTC?s Canadian Connection ? Saul Chernos ? and I have been working out
some of the details on programming and QSLs for this test with chief
engineer Roger Cole. To begin with, here are the basics:

CFFX 960 kHz Kingston, ON DX Test

DATE: Early morning of Tuesday January 15 (Monday night).
MODE OF OPERATION: CFFX will test using its 10,000-watt daytime directional
pattern.
PROGRAMMING: Regular adult contemporary programming. Special test material
will consists of three hourly voice announcements followed by special test
material lasting several minutes. These will air roughly at the top of the
hour, at approximately 0000, 0100 and 0200 EST, give or take a few minutes
depending on the program log.

Here is what we?ve worked out on QSLs ?

For those DXers who seek a traditional ?paper? QSL card, please send your
reception report, recording (mp3/wav on disk or cassette OK) directly to
Saul at the following address:

Saul Chernos
57 Berkeley St.
Toronto, ON
M5A 2W5 CANADA

Regarding return postage, be sure to go with one of these options:

1. You may send Canadian stamps in an amount sufficient to cover postage
from there to your location. For Canada to the U.S., I believe it is 93¢
Canadian.

2. Send $1 U.S. to cover return postage costs.

3. DXers hearing the test outside of Canada and the U.S. may send 1 Euro.
And DXers anywhere can send 1 IRC to cover return postage costs. If none of
these options will work for you, please contact me via e-mail and we?ll work
something out.

Saul will work with Mr. Cole to review reports, issue and mail QSL cards,
etc.

For those DXers who are happy with an eQSL, please send your reception
report and/or recording in either mp3 or wav format to both Saul and Mr.
Cole. Their e-mail addresses are respectively:

schernos[at]sympatico.ca

roger.cole[at]corusent.com

I hope this covers everything, but if you have any questions please don?t
hesitate to ask. Good luck to everyone on hearing this very special test.
