 Sorry for my earlier confusion re KCKM-1330, which as Steve,
 Paul and others 
 correctly note is TONIGHT:
 
 KCKM-1330 Monahans TX
 Saturday March 22 (Friday night into Saturday morning)
 0101 to 0130 *Eastern* Daylight Time / 0501 to 0530 
 UTC
 So that is certain. I checked with Paul Walker who arranged
 it and he confirms it.
 
 
 It's the 1450 WKXL test where I think we may have
 conflicting information - 
 a few of us seem to have tried last night, without success,
 after a posting on 
 at least one list, as follows - and I quote:
 
 ""If you heard the DX Test 
 from WWXL-1450 intially scheduled for last Saturday, March
 15th, you DID NOT 
 hear it. However, good news .....
 
 ""Regrets for the late notice, but the 
 schedule of station personnel is very fluid at the moment,
 so we take what we 
 can get (and are EXTREMELY grateful for the re-schedule of
 this test). For 
 TONIGHT/early tomorrow morning:
 
 ""March 21, 2014. 12:00-1:00 PM EDT 
 (0500-0600 UTC). WWXL-1450, Manchester, Kentucky will
 conduct a DX test at a 
 power of 1,000 watts non-directional."" 
 
 End of quote from last night's 
 post...
 
 But this update has 5 fours between UTC and EDT, when there
 should be four, and there's PM that should probably be AM.
 
 Now, the original time and date the 1450 WKXL test was
 rescheduled 
 (after the engineer couldn't make it to the site due to car
 problems) was as follows:
 
 WWXL-1450 Manchester KY
 Saturday March 22 (Saturday night almost into Sunday
 morning)
 11:00 to 11:45 pm Eastern Daylight Time / 0300 to 0345 UTC 
 
 
 
 
 But, pending further information or a 
 clarification, it would seem to make sense to look for the
 test and/or record from 
 0300-0600 UTC (2300-0200 EDT) BOTH tonight and tomorrow
 night. Just to be safe.
 
 My best guess and 
 hunch is the WWXL test will be tonight, given that no one
 who checked heard it 
 last night.
 
 Anyhow, that's what I'll be doing. I'm not taking any
 chances 
 after spending an hour in the deep snow and ice untangling
 and setting up my 
 directional flag (aimed wsw). 
 
 Despite the confusion, I'm really grateful 
 to all those who have conducted, arranged and communicated
 about the tests. I apologize again for mixing up the dates
 re KCKM. Again, it's TONIGHT...
 
 If 
 more information or a clarification comes forward, great. If
 not, so be it.
 
 And, please, if there's anything incorrect in here, let us
 know. I've gone thru it multiple times ...
 
 Now go get yer radios on!
