— LAST NIGHT’S TEST STARTED AN HOUR EARLY ——
George Hudson, owner of WCPH and The Courtesy Program Committee (CPC) of the NRC and IRCA are pleased to announce a special DX Test tonight, late night- January 2nd, 2021. The test will begin at 2 AM Eastern Time until 4 AM Eastern (0700-0900 UTC).
We have been able to confirm with owner George Hudson that last night’s special DX Test started one hour earlier than scheduled…beginning at 1AM Eastern time (0600 UTC) so if you had overnight recordings running, especially in Europe—please check your recordings for traces of the WCPH 1220 kHz DX Test—you may have a nice surprise.
According to George—“Sorry for the change. I started the test earlier because I couldn’t stay awake any longer. Long day!”

QSL INFORMATION
WCPH is currently celebrating their 65th anniversary of serving Southeastern Tennessee. The station’s branding is “Homegrown 1220” and “Southeast Tennessee’s Oldies Station.”
Joe Miller, KJ8O has designed a special 65th Anniversary QSL card, which will be available to those who successfully log this holiday test. If you wish to report reception of the DX test from either tonight or December 26, 2020 please submit your report to the Courtesy Program Committee (CPC) at:
les@highnoonfilm.com <mailto:les@highnoonfilm.com>
We prefer an .mp3 recording of the best reception, no more than 2 minutes or so in length. If you cannot record the test, then detailed written reports can also be accepted. Please include time stamps for each element that you received—and describe the content as best you can.
If you’re really old school—you can send a SD card, USB key, cassette audio tape, or even 1/4” reel tape to:
Les Rayburn, N1LF
121 Mayfair Park
Maylene, AL 35114
Please include a SASE with return postage.
Those who are successful will receive a .PDF file of the QSL card, suitable for printing. Please allow 2-3 weeks or longer to process.
Please only submit one report, even if you heard both tests.
Also include your location, antenna, and receiver details. The station finds this information very helpful.
