[IRCA] KRSN DX Test rescheduled

["Mesa Mike, Lost Almost NM" <mwdx@xxxxxxxxxx>]

KRSN 1490 Los Alamos, New Mexico has installed a new Harris DAX-1 
transmitter and is now ready to reschedule the DX test that failed to 
happen in November.

The test is scheduled for Sunday morning, January 28th.

As before, the test will run for 10 minutes each at 1:00 am, 2:00 am and 
3:00 am, and will consist of phonetic voice IDs, Morse code IDs and tone 
sweeps.

And as before, this will be a challenging test, as KRSN is on an STA 
that allows them only 640 watts. The antenna is a short (about 80 foot) 
folded unipole mounted on a 150 foot tower. The top of the tower 
supports several bays of cell phone antennas. (Trivia: KRSN is planning 
on installing a Kinstar antenna in a few months after a permanent 
antenna site is located -- they are currently in negotiation with the 
county for a 99-year lease on a site.)

Reception reports via e-mail are preferred.
Send reports to: dxtest@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

For those who cannot send e-mail reports, the address for Postal reports is:

    KRSN AM 1490
    145 Central Park Square
    Los Alamos, NM 87544


A recording of the test is requested. Most formats are acceptable for 
e-mail attachments. Audio or data CD or cassette for Postal reports. If 
a recording is not available, please include a detailed description of 
your reception including the sequence of test elements, description of 
sweep tones, etc.
