Re: [IRCA] DX test Sunday morning March 10 - 1480 KBXD TX Dallas

["Paul B. Walker, Jr." <walkerbroadcasting@xxxxxxxxx>]

The KBXD test came about for early March because wanted to do it as close
to it still being winter as possible. He has his reasons, he's KBXD's GM
and Engineer.

Because i was friends with Jerry and he's been in radio, I just emailed him
and asked.. he knew what to do and how to do it. A sample letter for other
DXers who are "cold calling" stations by email is a usefull tool.
