[IRCA] WFIL DX Test with Details

["Rene Tetro" <rene@xxxxxxxx>]

The WFIL DX Test will be conducted Sunday Morning from 12:00AM - 12:55AM
Eastern (0500-0555 UTC).  WFIL is licensed to Philadelphia, PA and will be
operating on our Daytime Directional Array at 5KW.  The end time has been
adjusted to 12:55AM, instead of 01:00AM.  This will afford listeners in our
region to possibly hear other stations on 560. We will turn off our carrier
from 12:55AM until 1:02AM, which will allow listeners to catch top of the
hour IDs.

 

Reception reports should be emailed to: dxtest@xxxxxxxx   

 

If you still prefer snail mail, reports can also be sent to:
