[IRCA] DX Test Update (slight change re KBXD this weekend)

[Chernos Saul <sauldx@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

DX Test Update (four tests listed):


1480 KBXD TX Dallas
Sunday March 17 – 
0000-0200 CDT (Saturday night into Sunday morning)
KBXD is testing its brand 
new full 50-KW six-tower day pattern – see online 
at:
http://radio-locator.com/cgi-bin/pat?call=KBXD&service=AM&status=C&hours=D
The original plan was for a full two-hour test with Morse 
code, sweep tones, special music and other easily identifiable content. The test is still scheduled to go ahead, but because they have acquired programming that won't allow for the full test as planned, KBXD will instead run a two-minute test at the top and bottom of each hour, keeping the same time frame. We thank KBXD for doing what it can given the changed circumstances.
No 
e-mail reports accepted. Reports should be sent by regular postal mail. KBXD is 
graciously covering the cost of mailing out QSLs, so No need to send a SASE. 
Reports must include written or printed 
information with the listener's location, equipment used, and details about 
content heard. Please note that audio materials 
will not be returned.

1400 
WKBI PA Saint Marys (+ 94.5 W233BS translator, 250 watts)
Sunday March 31– 0000-0300 EDT (TOH only; late Saturday 
night / early Sunday morning).
Testing with its regular full-time 1,000-watt 
non-directional power and pattern. Plans to run 60-second Morse code and sweep 
tones at the top of each hour only, right after ABC News. Otherwise, look for a format that’s referred 
to on-air as America’s Best Music – music technically thought of as Adult 
Standards but to the non-radio person more like soft oldies. Station IDs as "Classy 1400 & 94.5." Translator is 250 watts at 364 feet from an elevation of about 2,200 feet.
WKBI is located 
100 miles northeast of Pittsburgh, 60 miles northwest of State College, and 90 
miles southeast of Erie.
Arranged by Paul Walker

SASE. Audio clips welcome on CD or mp3/wav files on USB/thumb/jump drive. Please 
do not send cassette tapes. Reports must include
