KKOH 780 Reno Off Air Time This Weekend!  View Printable Version 
Saturday, February 15 2020

HCDX
Good news... Daniel Appellof, KKOH's engineer has graciously agreed to run
15 to 20 minutes of DX Test material using KKOH's 50KW non directional
daytime facility at 12midnight.. this is to hopefully give eas coast DX'ers
a chance to log this. The 6am test will still run, but it would be
very late for East coast DXers.

KKOH 780 Reno DX TEST & Off-Air Period (TONIGHT)  View Printable Version 
Saturday, February 15 2020

HCDX
With special thanks to Chief Engineer Daniel Appellof, and Broadcaster/DX’er Paul Walker, we have arranged for a DX Test tonight for KKOH 780 Khz in Reno, Nevada. At approximately midnight Pacific time, KKOH will switch to 50 KW Non-directional. They plan to run 15-20 minutes of DX Test material that we have provided.

This material includes sweep tones, Morse Code IDs at 700 hz (10 words per minute), telephone off-hook sounds, and vintage voice sounders for the station. The sweep tones and telephone sounders are especially good at cutting through noise, and should give many DX’ers a chance to log the station.

After the test period, KKOH 780 will power down the transmitter for additional maintenance. This will provide a “silent period” for West Coast DX’ers to log new stations on 780 Khz.

When the maintenance concludes, the station will power back up. They may or may not repeat the DX Test material at that time. The maintenance is expected to take about six hours, possibly less.

This is a rare chance to log Nevada, and for those in the Western US to log new stations on 780 KHz as well.

Please spread the word via e-mail lists, chat rooms, etc. DX Tests are rare these days. I hope that everyone will join me in expressing our gratitude to Daniel and Paul.

As usual, a good signal from All India Radio's General Overseas Service into
NB this afternoon (14 February) at 21:45 UTC on 9445 kHz even indoors on a
portable with its whip antenna. Pleasant Indian subcontinent music. AIR is a
reliable SW broadcaster. Let's hope it stays that way for a few more years.
