Les:
 
I think you have made a slight mistake. According to my both my NRC Logbook and my WRTH, KTNS-Oakhurst CA is on 1090, not 1060.

KTNS 1060khz Oakhurst, CA TEST
Date: December 21, 2004 (Late Tuesday Night into Wednesday morning)
Time: 23:00PM PST-01:00AM PST (2 Hour Test)
Modes of Operation: 23:00-00:01 PST 23 Watts/Nighttime Pattern
00:01-01:00AM 5KW Daytime Non-Directional
Programming: Morse IDs, Voice IDs, Sweep Tones, Old Television Theme songs.
Morse Code ID's are at both 10WPM and 5WPM, 1000hz.

Test is being conducted by Mr. Larry Gamble, station owner/operator who will
be retiring soon. He has done several DX Tests over the years. Mr. Gamble
would prefer to verify reception  reports via e-mail only. Written reports or short
MP3 clips are sufficient for verification.

Send e-mail reports to:
Larry W. Gamble <
mtkaat@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Tests Notes: Oakhurst is located in Central California near the Yosemite
National Park. Past DX tests have resulted in reports from most of the Western US.
Note too the use  of television theme songs as program material. Hopefully these
will be easier to pull out of the noise. An example might be the theme from the
Addams Family, etc.

WB3XNN 1620khz Milford, PA TEST

Time: Non-Critical Hours 09:15AM EST until 1445PM EST
Modes of Operation: 1KW Daytime Non-Directional
Programming: Un-Modulated Carrier with ID's at TOH.

Test is being conducted by Digital Radio Engineering for field
intensity experiments concerning area ground conductivity. A full
DX Test will be conducted (hopefully at night) before the
competition of measurements in January.

Below is the full text received from Dave Schmidt:

WB3XNN - 1620 kilohertz should be on the air about December 15th.  This
station licensed to Milford, PA (near Port Jervis and less than a mile from
NRC member BILL ALISAUKAS)) is being operated for field intensity
measurements of the ground conductivity in the area.  This will be
operating during non critical hours (approx. 0915 til 1445)with an
unmodulated carrier, ID's given on the hour.  Power will be 1000 watts into
a 50 foot top loaded single tower. (For those in to tower currents, that
adds up to 8.8 amps at 14 ohms!)  Tests should continue through the end of
January.

Reports can be sent to Dave Schmidt c/o: Digital Radio Engineering, 2927 US
Route
6, Slate Hill, NY  10973
 
I would appreciate it if someone in the local area could verify that this
station is active.
