Just a couple corrections to that list...WLIQ is on 1530 and licensed to Quincy, Illinois (this is the former KPCR that was licensed to Bowling Green, Missouri years ago), and WLRB is on 1510.

Subject: [IRCA] Upcoming DX Tests

DX Tests are in the works for KHMO-AM 1070, WLIQ-AM 1530, WLRB-AM 1510 and
WLDS-AM 1180

KHMO 1070 is 5KW Day/3 towers, 1KW Nught/6 towers licensed to Hannibal,
Missouri.
WLIQ 1510 is 1400W Day/Non Directional and 240W Non Directionak/Critical
Hours
WLRB 1070 is 1000W Day/Non Directional and 250W Non Directional/Critical
Hours
WLDS 1180 is 1000 Watts Non Directional Daytime Only.

We are looking at KHMO and WLIQ testing on the same night one weekend with
WLRB and WLDS testing the same night a weekend later.

The KHMO test will be done on day power/pattern and night power/pattern. it
will likely only be for 5 minutes at the top and bottom of the hour.

The WLRB and WLIQ tests will be done at Day time and Critical Hours Power.
These tests will like be an entire hour of sound effects, odd noises,
sweeptones, morse code and voice announcements.

The WLDS test will be done at full daytime power.This test will like be an
entire hour of sound effects, odd noises, sweeptones, morse code and voice
announcements.

How much advance notice is needed by the clubs for print, email, website
and etc? Do people prefer Friday night into Saturday or Saturday night into
Sunday?

When dates and times are finalized, information on where to send reception
reports will be provided. No one will be at the stations during these tests
as they will be automated but it will required the Chief Engineer of all
the stations, Gary Glaenzer, to be up at 1 and 2am in the morning to dial
in from home.
