Chief Engineer Monte Passmore has provided a little more info on the format for his upcoming test. He provided some very specific details regarding times, but I have thinned some of this out to try and avoid giving away too much of what to expect. I know 99.99 percent of us are honest about this and I don't mean to offend anyone, but just one unscrupulous DXer could ruin this for all of us, and it HAS happened in the past.
Here is the info: I will start with sweep tones followed by a quick station identifier then a tone at 1,000 Hz followed by another station identifier. I will repeat this sequence for ten minutes from 12:00-12:10 am and then follow with college football marching music for three minutes from 12:10am to 12:13am followed by the same station identifier sweep tones and a station identifier to conclude at approx 12:15am. We will then go back to our normal programming. Good luck to all.
