[IRCA] KTNS DX Test Wrapup

["Les Rayburn" <les@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Here is a brief wrap up of the KTNS 1060khz DX Test results. I've

kept this one short due to family commitments around the holidays.

 

Our thanks again to Mr. Larry Gamble, Owner/Operator of KTNS who

will soon be retiring. Larry has run quite a few tests for all of us over

the years, and I know that everyone in the DX community is grateful. He'll

be retiring soon and we wish him well. See his comments at the bottom of

this list:

Brian Leyton, Valley Village, CA

Tried for, but missed by:

John Hart, San Francisco, CA

Mike Stonebridge, St. Isidore, AB Canada

Les Rayburn, Helena, AL

Bill Harms, Elkridge, Maryland

Adam Myrow (Possible code and sweep tones, but not positive)

Steve Francis, Alcoa, TN

Rick Shaftan, New York

Eric Bueneman, Hazelwood, MO (though he did get some brief snips

of code)

 

I also received a "post test" report from Mr. Gamble himself, it is reprinted below:

 

Dear Les,

    I have received responses from at least a dozen DXers. Up to this afternoon the farthest one from Oakhurst, California was Colorado-over 800 miles. Then this afternoon, I received one from Wisconsin!!!! Wow! Now that is impressive.

Thanks for all of your excellent organization for IRCA. Keep up the good work!

Larry Gamble, Soon to be retired!

 

Don't we wish all broadcasters felt this way about DX tests! Again, our thanks for years of support to

Mr. Larry Gamble. Now that you're retiring, I'd like to recommend AM DXing as a great way to

pass the time. :)

 

73,

 

Les Rayburn, N1LF
