My earlier message below stands, and I will not be able to update anything
until the test is over as I will have no e-mail access until Monday daytime.
(I'm at an ODXA DX GTG).
A couple things to note: The test may be very very brief, and at 01:00
ATLANTIC time Monday morning the 7th, therefore 12 midnight Eastern local
time. That is Sunday going into Monday.
Second, CBA News is interviewing me for a 5-minute item that will likely air
between 4-4:30 Atlantic time (3-3:30 eastern time). I sent them a copy of
the morse code, thinking they might like it as a sound effect, and they
might include that. I know it's well before sunset, but it would be cool if
the code punches through 1070 at that hour, and how far the "newscast test"
gets out... that is this afternoon, in a few hours.
I am in the Toronto phone directory if anyone needs to reach me with a
last-minute question. Please leave a brief message. I will only answer calls
that I consider urgent and that can't wait until after the test by e-mail.
I am also not divulging what content the DX test will include. Let's just
say, if you hear it, you'll know. And if you're not sure -- that's happened
to me before -- recordings can be listened to.
I expect to have QSL information very soon after the test. It's possible
that CBA will handle this, though I have not yet heard back on that.
Enjoy...

Subject: [AMFMTVDX] DX Alert - 1070 CBA DX Test this Monday morning
> CBA 1070 in Moncton has confirmed they will air a DX test Monday morning,
April 7 at 01:00 am ***Atlantic*** time.
I'm now trying to determine the duration of the test - I'd expect just a
couple of minutes, for a very tight window of opportunity - and how QSLs
and eQSLs will be handled.
Please feel free to spread this far and wide. I'd like our friends
overseas to know and I'm not on any of those lists!
BTW, I know it's taken a long time for the CFFX QSLs. And I really
appreciate the patience we've encounterted from fellow DXers. We're
getting these finalized; they will be issued shortly. We have NOT
forgotten!
Saul
