No need to
be a Night Owl for this one! WVBG plans to test with its regular full-time 1,000-watt
non-directional power and pattern right around local sunset. Test will likely
run 20-25 minutes and include a mix of eclectic music, morse code IDs, tones
and sound effects. We're still ironing out QSL details but our friends at WVBG
will handle them by e-mail and postal mail. We will post a full announcement
shortly – this is just to confirm that this test is planned.
