Kotzebue AK is in the Alaska Standard Time zone: UTC- 9, EST-4, CST-3,
MST-2, PST-1. As has been pointed out before, on March 10 we will still be on
Standard time, though it will be the last full day before the shift to DST.

Idaho not good enuf for ya easterners? Paul Walker reports on the
following DX Test, and it's probably closer to Russia than Sarah Palin's back
doorstep. I think even western DXers will find this one a challenge. Given that
the Chigago Three were on all night last night, here's hoping the Chicago
transmitter work proceeds as planned the morning of Saturday March 10.
There's just two matters to resolve - defining the time zone where the station is
located, and figuring out how that translates into UTC, CST, EST, PST etc
And determining if e-mail QSL requests (leading to eQSLs of course) are
acceptable. Paul and I came up with conflicting times and I'm not convinced
either of is right. So from Paul (with thanks): Saturday March 10th 12am to
1230am local time
KOTZ 720 Kotzebue, Alaska will test for 30 minutes during WGN's off air
period. The test will consist of sweep tones, morse code, sound effects and
other announcements.
If you are listening for this test, please include your location, type of
listening device and antenna you used along with what you heard and the
quality of what you heard along with other details about the signal. Chief
Engineer Pierre Lonewolf is most interested in the results from this skywave
skip as they are evaulating their signal right now.
The Chief Engineer will respond to QSL requests. A self addressed stamped
envelope should be sent along with the report to:
Chief Engineer Pierre Lonewolf
KOTZ-AM 720
PO Box 78
396 Lagoon St
Kotzebue, Alaska 9975
More as we know more...please spread the word. Saul
