Yes indeed. This from DXLD 3-209:

** U S A. NRC member Pete Dernbach of St. Louis Missouri sent an e-
mail to WGN's Director of Engineering to ask about the WGN silent
period. Below is the e-mail and the WGN reply verbatim (as posted on
the NRC list). 73 Niel Wolfish

"I sent an email to Jim Carollo, Director of Engineering at WGN,
about the silent period and this is the very quick reply he sent me.
======================
It will be Sunday morning, November 30, 1:05 AM until 5. However,
between 1:05 and 3 I may have a carrier on with test tone. The
carrier is most likely to be off from 3 until 4:30 AM [0900-1030 UT].
That's your best chance. Jim
=======================
I then sent an email to the engineer at KOTZ, Alaska to see if they
could do a DX test during the silent period. If I recall correctly
they did a test about a year ago. I'm waiting on a reply.
