Chief Engineer Duke Hamann sent the following notice regarding the summer schedule: JUNE SCHEDULE Nightly for the entire month. June 1-June 30th starting at Midnight EDT (0400 UTC) for one hour. The Burke Controller will be programmed to switch to daytime pattern and power during that hour. Daytime power is 5,000 watts. The test material will consist of a brief voice announcement, followed by nothing but Morse Code ID?s at 800 hz, 900 hz, and 1,000 hz. Most of the CW will be high speed at 25 WPM. There will also be plenty of sweep tones, 1,000 hz long duration tones, and off hook sound effects. No music, voice, or other distractions. Similar to the KCUP test earlier this year, it should provide the optimum chance to cut through the summer static. JULY SCHEDULE July 1st through 7th. Midnight EDT (0400 UTC) to 5 AM EDT (0900 UTC) ?Hybrid? DX Test. Test will be daytime power, 5kw but into an omnidirectional pattern. Test material will be limited to CW only at 800 hz, 900 hz, and 1,000 hz along with simultaneous transmission of FT-8 computer mode transmissions. FT8 is used by amateur radio operators to communicate over long distances at very low power levels. Receiving it is even easier, and can literally be done by putting a microphone from your computer close to your receiver?s speaker. Using FT8 WNJC was received nationwide and in several countries last year. How to get started, try these tutorials or search Google for ?Getting Started in FT8.? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vAQLM4bUwZw <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vAQLM4bUwZw> July 4th Special Test. On July 4th WNJC will conduct a special Independence Day event starting at 8 PM EDT (00:00 UTC) until 6 AM EDT (1000 UTC). Test material will consist of voice ID?s, jingles, Morse Code IDs, sweep tones, along with special patriotic music and sound effects. 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> QSL INFORMATION QSL?s for the June tests and July 1-7 Tests will be handled by the Courtesy Program Committee of the NRC/IRCA. Our QSL requirements are very specific: All requests must be submitted via e-mail to: l...@highnoonfilm.com <mailto:l...@highnoonfilm.com> QSL requests must include a recording of the best two minutes of your reception in either .MP3, .WAV, or .MP4 video. No written reports will be accepted for verification. Requests must be received by August 1st. Only one QSL per DX?er regardless of how many times you receive the test (s). If you use a remote SDR or receiver to log the test, we will honor only one QSL per DX?er. No multiple QSL requests. You must clearly state the location of the receiver that you used to receive the station. The July 4th Special Test QSL requests will be processed directly by John ?Duke? Hamann, Chief Engineer of WNJC. The requirements are: All requests must be submitted via e-mail to: duxpond.kc2...@gmail.com <mailto:duxpond.kc2...@gmail.com> Only one QSL per DX?er. You may apply for the July 4th Special QSL even if you have already received the test earlier. 73, Les Rayburn, N1LF 121 Mayfair Park Maylene, AL 35114 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??

Austin MB is not near Brandon but allegedly halfway between there and Winnipeg on the Trans-Canada Hwy; not in my Rand McNally atlas (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** KOREA NORTH. 15244.958, May 25 at 1454, JBA carrier off-frequency, i.e. VOK French as scheduled only. After 1500, however, both it and CRI via Kashgar, East Turkistan, land of ChiCom imperialist genocide against Uyghurs and other Moslems, would clash in English on 15245, per Aoki. OTOH, VOK continues to be plus 13760 circa 13760.2 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** OKLAHOMA. 92.5 WBFM, May 25 at 2200 UT, KOMA-FM OKC is playing a jazzed-up band version of the state anthem, ``Oklahoma``. The lead-in to it is unrecognizable, and the lead-out coda includes a few notes of ``Boomer, Sooner``. I suspect this be a daily ritual at 5 pm local, anywhen else? Listen for it on webcast if necessary. This was amid an FM DX opening which failed to produce anything here, despite a few 88+ MUFs on the DXMAP, even 103 MHz to the NW which is what got me to start tuning: mainly somewhat open frequencies 92.1 & 92.9 shifting back & forth across KOMA. Some music surged up at 2155 UT on 92.1, but proved to be only KFXI, Foxy 92 from SW OK. The Es opening continues poking barely above 88 MHz somewhere, past 0125 UT May 26 (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR) ** SPAIN. 17855, May 25 at 2217, NO signal from REE to US again today, off or not propagating? Tuesday is an off-day for English, anyway: never on T-days; nor S-days. 15520 is poor S3-S6 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 9830, May 25 at 2216, VOT English is on today, lacking RTTY QRM, but poor S9-S6. By 2248 music is good at S9+10, and keeps going 2254 with IS, 2300 TS and opening bonus German, but off by 2340 recheck, so no Brazuguese at 0000 this time. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler. [non] Besides Spain on M/W/F, there are NO overseas SW broadcasts in English for us at 22-23. Romania is on but unsuitable: 5945 & 7310 Galbeni to western Europe, too low for us in summer; 7325 & 9790 Tsiganeshti to Japan; and one or two of them out of order (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 660 kHz, May 25 at 0615 UT, some 24 hours after 50/50 kW U2 KTNN Window Rock AZ was in well, no sign of it with KSKY Dallas nulled, lending credence to my conclusion that it were ND then instead of properly restricting signal to the east (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 28204-CW, May 25 at 1832, DE W0WF/B VVV -- call repeated numerously before a blip and VVV seems to be at end of loop rather than start.
