Snail-mail QSLs: Send a self addressed stamped envelope to the Chief 
Engineer at the following address:

Gary Glaenzer
c/o (Put the name of the station whose DX test your are reporting on this 
line)
325 East Douglas Avenue
Jacksonville, IL 62650

Tapes or CDs will be accepted along with written reports but MUST be cued up 
to the point of where the best reception is. If sending in a report by mail, 
you MUST include a return, self addressed, stamped envelope. The reports are 
being sent to the engineers home address, not the station. So please be 
patient, as Mr. Glaenzer is the Chief Engineer for 16 radio stations in 
Missouri and Illinois.

E-QSLs are available - Send to the engineer at <glaenzer@xxxxxxxxxxxx> with 
both the station call letters and the words "DX test" in the subject line, 
as follows:

KHMO DX Test
WLIQ DX Test
WLRB DX Test

Finally, we ask that you please not telephone any of the stations or the 
engineer during the test. No one will be at the stations during the tests - 
everything is being done remotely by phone control.

Of course, be sure to report any catches to the DX lists, to club bulletins, 
or to any of your regular communication channels. And please help the cause 
by forwarding this test information far and wide, and - if you can - by 
organizing a test of your own!

With thanks to Paul for arranging and Gary for running.
