Just a reminder that this Sunday morning WNTP-WFIL will be conducting its third annual DX Test. In making each year's test a but different, we have attempted to offer a variety of possible scenarios for the DX community. In our first test, it was a fairly standard arrangement: separate tests on separate nights for both WFIL and WNTP. Last year, we did a combined DX Test on both stations simultaneously to detect difference in propagation between the two frequencies.
This year, with the input of Les Rayburn, we are conducting another combined test, but at a substantially different time frame. The test will be conducted between 0500 and 0600 Eastern (1000-1100 UTC) in hope of being a more viable test for people in the Western United States. It is hoped that by conducting the test just before sunrise, propagation will be such that reception in that part of the nation will be enhanced. The test will run as follows: Sunday, December 10, 2006 0500-0530 Eastern (1000-1030 UTC) WFIL 560 kHz, 5KW, Directional Daytime WNTP 990 kHz, 50KW, Directional Daytime 0530-0600 Eastern (1030-1100 UTC) WFIL 560 kHz, 5KW, Non-Directional WNTP 990 kHz, 5KW, Non-Directional This year reception reports are being handled by Les and should be sent to: Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] or Snail Mail: Les Rayburn, director High Noon Film 100 Centerview Drive Suite 111 Birmingham, AL 35216 Good DXing and 73, Rene' Rene F.
