[IRCA] Re: WNTP Test

["Steve Ratzlaff" <steveratz@xxxxxxxx>]

I listened for the first 80 minutes of the test, and heard nothing. CBC, Manitoba was completely dominant, and playing orchestral music the whole time didn't help for hearing test tones.

OK....tonight's the night.  After a delay of two weeks for various reasons, I will definitely being doing the WNTP Audio Proof-of-Performance tonight.  The test will commence at 00:01 EST and continue until finished, or until 02:00, whichever comes first.

 

Test will consist of Various tones at 95%, 75%, 50%, and 25% modulation.  We plan on doing the test twice.  First on the 50KW Daytime system, and if time allows, on the 10KW night system.  If things go quickly enough, I will also repeat the test using our 5KW auxiliary transmitter on the Daytime antenna system.

 

I will be using the Female Voice ID that Les sent me.  The announcement says, "This is WNTP testing. W. N. T. P.  Winston November Tango Papa testing." 

 

Many of the tones will be sweeps since the test is largely automated using a Neutrik A2-D test set.  Solid tones will also be sent when I to the noise measurements and IMD tests.

 

73,

Rene'
