[IRCA] KKGR 680khz added to the "Big Sky DX Test"

["Les Rayburn" <les@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Late word today from engineer Ron Huckeby that KKGR 680khz will join
the "Big Sky DX Test" this coming weekend! They'll be running 500 watts
into a short tower (290 feet). I doubt they'll be as well heard as some
of the others, but for Western DX'ers this is a chance to add an
additional station to the log book.

Special Montana DX Test Announcement

**KERR 750khz Polson, MT will be doing transmitter maintenance 0005-0058

The state of Montana is one of the rarest of all for DX'ers, especially 
those east of the Mississippi River. Through the joint efforts of a lot of 
dedicated folks, we are now proud to announce a special multi-station DX 
test from Montana offering listeners a rare opportunity to log this state.

Special thanks go out to the ABDX E-Mail List, Engineer Ron Huckeby, Michael
