Snail-mail QSLs: Send a self addressed stamped envelope to the Chief
Engineer at the following address:

Gary Glaenzer
c/o (Put the name of the station whose DX test your are reporting on this
line)
325 East Douglas Avenue
Jacksonville, IL 62650

Tapes or CDs will be accepted along with written reports but MUST be cued up
to the point of where the best reception is. If sending in a report by mail,
you MUST include a return, self addressed, stamped envelope. The reports are
being sent to the engineers home address, not the station. So please be
patient, as Mr. Glaenzer is the Chief Engineer for 16 radio stations in
Missouri and Illinois.

E-QSLs are available - Send to the engineer at <glaenzer@xxxxxxxxxxxx> with
both the station call letters and the words "DX test" in the subject line,
as follows:

KHMO DX Test
WLIQ DX Test
WLRB DX Test

Finally, we ask that you please not telephone any of the stations or the
engineer during the test. No one will be at the stations during the tests -
everything is being done remotely by phone control.

Of course, be sure to report any catches to the DX lists, to club bulletins,
or to any of your regular communication channels. And please help the cause
by forwarding this test information far and wide, and - if you can - by
organizing a test of your own!

With thanks to Paul for arranging and Gary for running.
