George Hudson, owner of WCPH and The Courtesy Program Committee (CPC) of the
NRC and IRCA are pleased to announce a special DX Test tonight, late night-
January 2nd, 2021. The test will begin at 2 AM Eastern Time until 4 AM Eastern
(0700-0900 UTC).
Happy New Year! Also wanted to acknowledge the gratitude and well wishes for
the CPC that many have expressed. Want to ensure that Joe Miller, KC80 is
included in that group. Joe handles all the QSL duties for our tests, including
design, verifications, etc. Grateful to Paul and Joe for all that they do.
Today is the start of the college football playoff with two bowl games to
watch. (Rise Tide! Beat Notre Dame!) Plus we all need to spend time with our
immediate families (social distancing) eat some black eyed peas and celebrate
2021. But after all that is done, be sure to stay up late and listen for
tonight?s DX Test from WCPH in Etowah, TN on 1220 kHz.
The station is celebrating its 65th Anniversary and will be doing some
preventive maintenance tonight. During their maintenance period on the 26th of
December the station was heard coast-to-coast in North America?being heard
well. Hoping for even better results tonight.
WCPH 1220 AM will be doing maintenance testing at their full daytime power of
1,000 watts using their daytime pattern. The station will transmit station
identifications in voice, singing jingles, and Morse Code. In addition, they
will transmit sweep tones, 1 kHz long tones, and other sound effects.
WCPH is currently celebrating their 65th anniversary of serving Southeastern
Tennessee. The station?s branding is ?Homegrown 1220? and ?Southeast
Tennessee?s Oldies Station.? Their nighttime power is normally limited to 109
watts on a very crowded channel?so this test represents a unique chance to log
this one.
Joe Miller, KJ8O has designed a special 65th Anniversary QSL card, which will
be available to those who successfully log this holiday test. Exact details on
how QSL reports will be handled are still being worked out with the station,
and will be announced shortly.
For now, plan your holiday activities around these two great opportunities to
log Homegrown 1220 in Etowah, TN! See you late night TONIGHT!

** AUSTRIA [non]. (91.9), Jan 1 at 16-18 UT, just enjoyed the New Year
Concert from Vienna, via WUOT $tereo webcast, penul-concluding as ever
with the Blue Danube Waltz --- why do I keep thinking of Cashmere
Bouquet? The American hostess voice-overing English comments, Lisa
Mullins in Boston, needs to work on her German pronunciation, e.g.
``Musikverein``. A rather different version is scheduled on PBS TV
tonight, 0300 UT Saturday on OETA, visual elements added such as
ballet dancers, scenic views of nature and grand architecture (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CANADA. 276-MCW kHz, Jan 1 at 0733 UT, dash and YEL, 200-watt ND
beacon from Elliot Lake, Ontario; tuned to 275-USB (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)
** CUBA [and non]. 7435, Jan 1 at 0528, heavy jamming against no R.
Mart?; also on 7355, 7335, each with a different sound. The temporary
extension of RM to 0400-0600* was to expire after 5 December per HFCC;
unsure if that soon but definitely gone now; why? That supposedly
applied to 7435, 7355, 6030 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 6100, Jan 1 at 0525, RHC in Spanish instead of English with
NYE special also commemorating the 62nd anniversary of The Revolution.
Nothing heard on 11670 like last night.
6145, Jan 1 at 0525, RHC English again reverted to A-season frequency
instead of 9700, // distorted 6000. Something`s always wrong at RHC
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** OKLAHOMA [and non]. Heavy ice/snowfall seems to have knocked off
some ND beacons normally heard on groundwave, 1441-1447 UT after
sunrise Jan 1:
255-MCW, No SW, StillWater, nor earlier at 0731 UT
341-MCW, No EI, EnId, just OIN from OberlIN, Kansas
350-MCW, No RG, Oklahoma City, Will RoGers World Airport
These are still on in the 1441-1447 UT check Jan 1:
267-MCW, HET, 25 watts from HenryEtTa OK; tuned to 265-USB
293-MCW, FBY, 25 watts from FairBurY, Nebraska, regular often ignored
332-MCW, IC, 400 watts from wIChita - pICnIC, Kansas; no Canadian QRM
338-MCW, TU, 30 watts from TUlsa; not often heard
407-MCW, HRU, 25 watts, HeRington, KansUs; regular; tuned to 405-USB
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** SAUDI ARABIA [and non]. 11745.0, Jan 1 at 1455, S9 ME music and
talk about Ibrahim; 1459 music modulation with some breaks in it.
Similar strength to 11815 Turkey. This is Al-Azm Radio, the AFRTS of
SA, so not clandestine as some calify it; see pages 357 and 522 of
WRTH 2021, where it`s among `Clandestine and Other Target
Broadcasts``, site presumed Jeddah but not confirmed. Often heard in
bandscans but now I log it for the record. Google translates the name
as ``Determination`` which seems quite appropriate for messing with a
neighboring country`s affairs, Yemen. Meanwhile, the clandestine
Republic of Yemen Radio is blocked on 11860 by Cuban jamming and R.
Mart?. It used to be well heard before OCB usurped. BTW, the American
Forces Network does exist in SA via several FM frequencies in Jeddah
and Riyadh (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 305-MCW kHz, Jan 1 at 0744 UT, mixture of two NDBs when
tuned to 303-USB, very hard to untangle, but seem to hear ``ROM`` and
``OI``. These lead to:
OI, 25 watts at Sioux City - Tommi, Iowa
RO, 150 watts at Roswell, New Mexico
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) See also OKLAHOMA [and non]
** U S A. 13555, Jan 1 at 1448, HIFER beacon WV definitely copied,
from Richwood, West Virginia, after trace on Dec 28. Now it`s better
than trace of K6FRC California on 13565; at least there are no Cuban
spurblobs today to avoid. But both encounter CODAR QRM (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** U S A. 7490v, in WOR iog discussion and on WOR 2067, I point out
the .0015% frequency tolerance FCC allows on WBCQ license; afraid I
got it wrong as David Freeborough explains:
Re: [WOR] Vague FCC info on WBCQ --- ``Hi Glenn, 0.0015% = 0.000015 =
15 parts per million. At 7490 kHz that's a frequency error of 112.35
Hz. David``
That still seems awfully lax; a SW frequency that far off is bound to
cause harmful interference to co-channel stations. I personally would
tolerate no more than say, plus/minus 10 Hz. WBCQ is anyway beyond
tolerance, typically lately up to 180 Hz high, but I doubt will be
facing megadollar fines, increased by inflation index (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

The Courtesy Program Committee (CPC) of the NRC & IRCA is pleased to announce
that WNJC 1360 kHz in Washington Township, New Jersey will continue to run
weekly maintenance tests each late night Saturday/Sunday Morning this month.
Chief Engineer Duke Hamann sent the following notice this afternoon:
Happy New Year! I wanted to let you know that I will be continuing our DX tests
into 2021 on WNJC 1360 AM every Sunday 0100 - 1100 UTC (Saturday 8pm - Sunday
6am EST) in January.
Power level and pattern will be .8kw SSE till midnight EST then will be 5kw SSE
midnight to 6am EST. If anything changes, I will post in our Facebook group and
try to get it to the IRCA list as well.
01/03/21 01:00 - 11:00 UTC (01/02 08:00 PM - 01/03 06:00 AM EST)
01/10/21 01:00 - 11:00 UTC (01/09 08:00 PM - 01/10 06:00 AM EST)
01/17/21 01:00 - 11:00 UTC (01/16 08:00 PM - 01/17 06:00 AM EST)
01/24/21 01:00 - 11:00 UTC (01/23 08:00 PM - 01/24 06:00 AM EST)
01/31/21 01:00 - 11:00 UTC (01/30 08:00 PM - 01/31 06:00 AM EST)
To assist in keeping DX?ers informed of last minute changes and to better track
receptions of the station during it?s maintenance, CE Hamann has created a
Facebook group:
WNJC DX Test Facebook Group:
https://www.facebook.com/groups/wnjc1360dx
<https://www.facebook.com/groups/wnjc1360dx>
This is an excellent opportunity for European DX?ers to log this station during
the winter?with minimal ionization of the D-Layer during the day?and quiet
nights perfect for reception.
