I did manage to hear the DX test conducted by WOON 1240 Woonsocket, RI, which
ran between 2 and 3 AM EST, January 18. They run 1 KW, non-directional.

Caught several periods of the CW ID.

Perhaps I'll get a QSL (verie, for those in Glendale).

Well thanks Steve for letting us know you bogart.;-) What I am curious
about is when the digital conversion is totally complete does that
mean that those freqs are going to be free and abandoned so too speak
on the television freqs? I am seriously wondering if that means when I
swing my Channel Master around that I will be able to do some serious
DXing, I have at times caught (no more than eight minutes- but still
cool) other countries appearing on my tv screen. If anyone knows "for
sure" please let me know.....I have been looking forward to grabbing
some great DX on the tube after the switch.

The act also provided for the auctioning off of the
TV Frequencies associated with UHF Channels
52 to 69 {That is UHF not VHF}

Note - Some/Many HDTV UHF Channels will
be moving back to their former VHF Freqs.

IMHO The FCC should have shut down the
Channels VHF "LO" TV Channels :

2 {55.25 MHz}
3 {61.25 MHz}
4 {67.25 MHz}
5 {77.25 MHz}
6 {83.25 MHz}
and Expanded the FM Radio Band for
FM HD-Radio.
