Looking forward to this test! Hopefully my local KCKY will have some kind of equipment problem and be off the air. (They were off again last night). Thanks to those that set up this test. 73, John

On Sat, Oct 3, 2020 at 1:15 AM Les Rayburn <[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> > wrote: The Courtesy Program Committee of the National Radio Club and International Radio Club of America are pleased to announce another DX Test. This time from KSEN 1150 kHz in Shelby, Montana, near the Canadian border. KSEN plays an oldies format with the slogan, “Good as Gold.” They’re a fixture in the Shelby area but can be difficult to log outside of Big Sky country. This test for distant listeners is being done with the generous support of the owners of KSEN, station management, and Chief Engineer Todd Clark. We can also thank the efforts of CPC member Paul Walker who used his connections in broadcasting to arrange yet another test. The test will be on late night Saturday-Early Sunday morning on November 8, 2020 starting at 12:01AM Mountain Time for one hour. This is 0600-0700 UTC so it may be tough to log in Europe. Test will be at the daytime power of 10,000 watts, but we are not yet certain about which antenna pattern may be available for the test. Todd is attempting to arrange a change to the ND pattern, but may be limited to the night pattern which favors the North and South, with nulls towards E-W. Test will consist of voice announcements, Morse Code ID’s, sweep tones, off-hook telephone sounders, etc. The station has a small staff, so they have asked the CPC Committee to handle reception reports and verifications. Verifications will be by e-mail only. A specially designed QSL card in Adobe PDF format will be sent to successful reports. The CPC prefers audio recordings in .MP3 or .WAV format. These should be e-mailed to: [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> Put this on your calendar, and don’t miss the chance to log a great station in Northern Montana. Thanks again to CE Todd Clark and Paul Walker for this great DX Test 73, Les Rayburn, N1LF 121 Mayfair Park <https://www.google.com/maps/search/121+Mayfair+Park+Maylene,+AL+35114?entry=gmail&source=g> Maylene, AL 35114 <https://www.google.com/maps/search/121+Mayfair+Park+Maylene,+AL+35114?entry=gmail&source=g> EM63nf NRC & IRCA Courtesy Program Committee Chairman Member WTFDA, MWC Perseus SDR, Elad FDM-S2 SDR, AirSpy + Discovery, SDRPlay RSP-2 Pro, Sony XDR-F1HD [XDR Guy Modified], Dennon TU-1500RD, Sangean HDT-1X, Ray Dees RDS Decoders, Korner 9.2 Antenna, FM-6 Antenna, Kitz Technologies KT-501 Pre-amps, Quantum Phaser, Wellbrook ALA1530 Loop, Wellbrook Flag, Clifton Labs Active Whip. “Nothing but blues and Elvis, and somebody else’s favorite song…” _._,_._,_ _____ Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
