[IRCA] WNTP-WFIL DX Test This Weekend

["Rene F. Tetro" <rtetro@xxxxxxxxx>]

Just a reminder that this Sunday morning WNTP-WFIL will be conducting its
third annual DX Test.  In making each year's test a but different, we have
attempted to offer a variety of possible scenarios for the DX community.  In
our first test, it was a fairly standard arrangement:  separate tests on
separate nights for both WFIL and WNTP.  Last year, we did a combined DX
Test on both stations simultaneously to detect difference in propagation
between the two frequencies.

This year, with the input of Les Rayburn, we are conducting another combined
test, but at a substantially different time frame.  The test will be
conducted between 0500 and 0600 Eastern (1000-1100 UTC) in hope of being a
more viable test for people in the Western United States.  It is hoped that
by conducting the test just before sunrise, propagation will be such that
reception in that part of the nation will be enhanced.

The test will run as follows:
Sunday, December 10, 2006

0500-0530 Eastern (1000-1030 UTC)
WFIL  560 kHz, 5KW, Directional Daytime
WNTP  990 kHz, 50KW, Directional Daytime

0530-0600 Eastern (1030-1100 UTC)
WFIL  560 kHz, 5KW, Non-Directional
WNTP  990 kHz, 5KW, Non-Directional

This year reception reports are being handled by Les and should be sent to:
