[IRCA] WKVQ DX Tests this weekend



PLEASE GIVE THIS INFORMATION  THE WIDEST POSSIBLE DISSEMINATION

This is a reminder of the ***two separate*** DX tests from WKVQ radio scheduled this Friday night (early Saturday morning). Test organizer Jim Pogue just checked with Chief Engineer Craig Baker and everything is a go. Here again are the details:

1) WKVQ, 1540 Khz, 10 KW, Eatonton, GA will test on March 12, 2011 from 1:00-1:30 AM Eastern Standard Time (0600-0630 UTC). This test is being conducted especially for DXers in Europe in hopes that they will have a shot at hearing WKVQ just before their local sunrise.

2) WKVQ, 1540 Khz, 10 KW, Eatonton, GA -- the same station -- will test on March 12, 2011 from 2:00-2:30 AM Eastern Standard Time. Test will include Morse code IDs, voice IDs, special music, and sweep tones.

PLEASE NOTE - THESE TESTS ARE SATURDAY MORNING (FRIDAY NIGHT) AND ***BEFORE*** THE TIME CHANGE OCCURS THE NEXT MORNING.

Reception reports may be sent to starstation[at]bellsouth[dot]net which will be acknowledged with an eQSL or snail mail reports which will be acknowledged with a traditional QSL card.

Good luck!
