Re: [IRCA] DX Test Scheduled
Fingers crossed and thank you from this side of the pond. March 22 puts Texas on CDT or UTC-5 which means a darkness path from Monahans to the UK on a reasonable frequency. The only missing answer is will we have lots of low Ks and As hi!
Best wishes and 73's

Thanks to both Bob Souza at KCKM and Paul Walker for arranging this
test! Paul has done a tremendous job in arranging tests that benefit the
entire hobby, and we're all
grateful for his efforts. Looking forward to this one.
