Bob Souza, GM & Owner at KCKM 1330 Monahans, Texas has agreed to do
a
DX test for us DX'ers.

Here are the details:

Date: Saturday March 22nd, 2014 from 12AM to 12:30AM Central time
(Friday night into Saturday Morning)

The test will be be at full daytime power and pattern... 12,000
Watts
Non Directional into a 5/8th wave tower.

The test will consist mainly of morse code, sweep tones and sound
effects known to cut through the mud. There will be a few voice
announcements spread out through out the 30 minute test.

Bob prefers reports sent by email, but will accept snail mailed
submissions. If you send an email, please send MP3 attachments only,
WAV files would be too big.

Emails would be sent to

Snail mail reports can be sent with a CD or cassette cued up to the
best part of the reception. The mailing address is: PO Box 990,
Monahans TX 79756.

Bob has said a verification post card will be sent. I encourage you
to send just a single stamp to help defray the cost of the postage.
Bob didn't ask for that, but I think it would be kind gesture.

If I have left anything out or anyone has questions, please email ME
directly.. I think I covered
everything.

I am working on getting KGGF 690 Coffeyville, KS to do a test at its
10KW/2 tower daytime pattern.

Ah, radiosport for geezers. a 12KW AM signal from Texas is now a rare
catch?

It is with all the crap on the air. 1330 has a digital signal (HD)
over
it but a few stations punch through. WVHI Evansville is strong but can
be nuulled out with a loop.I have a a sports station in now on 1330
with
the Perseus. Waiting for propagation to change. Got a live feed of the
station in Texas available with a click to see what's on. DXing in the
digital age.....

Now listening to WFNN 1330 Erie, PA.Getting closer or farther as the
case may be....
