Kotzebue AK is in the Alaska Standard Time zone: UTC- 9, EST-4, CST-3,  
MST-2, PST-1. As has been pointed out before, on March 10 we will still be on  
Standard time, though it will be the last full day before the shift to  DST.

Idaho not good enuf for ya easterners? Paul Walker reports on the  
following DX Test, and it's probably closer to Russia than Sarah Palin's back  
doorstep. I think even western DXers will find this one a challenge. Given  that 
the Chigago Three were on all night last night, here's hoping the Chicago  
transmitter work proceeds as planned the morning of Saturday March 10. 
There's  just two matters to resolve - defining the time zone where the station is 
 located, and figuring out how that translates into UTC, CST, EST, PST etc 
And  determining if e-mail QSL requests (leading to eQSLs of course) are  
acceptable. Paul and I came up with conflicting times and I'm not convinced  
either of is right. So from Paul (with thanks): Saturday March 10th 12am to  
1230am local time

KOTZ 720 Kotzebue, Alaska will test for 30 minutes  during WGN's off air 
period. The test will consist of sweep tones, morse code,  sound effects and 
other announcements.



If you are listening for  this test, please include your location, type of 
listening device and antenna  you used along with what you heard and the 
quality of what you heard along  with other details about the signal. Chief 
Engineer Pierre Lonewolf is most  interested in the results from this skywave 
skip as they are evaulating their  signal right now.

The Chief Engineer will respond to QSL requests. A  self addressed stamped 
envelope should be sent along with the report  to:

Chief Engineer Pierre Lonewolf
KOTZ-AM 720
PO Box 78
396  Lagoon St
Kotzebue, Alaska 9975

More as we know more...please spread  the word.  Saul
