KBOI will maintain regular programming but will drop in Morse code IDs at about 1:08 MST (3:08 EST) and 1:38 MST (3:38 EST), using 50 kW ND ***ONLY*** during the code IDs. I strongly recommend monitoring 670 a few minutes before and after each of these times. No QSL info as of yet.

> QSL info for KOTZ: Please include location, receiver, antennae as well as a log of what you heard and when, and comments on signal quality. Chief Engineer Pierre Lonewolf is particularly interested in the results from this skywave skip as KOTZ is evaluating its signal, and a favor deserves a favour in return.
