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. Paul Walker (via mwdx yahoo group) ========================= dxAce Michigan USA |

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..... |

I was checking out 690, the other frequency mentioned for a possible upcoming test and after a bit yesterday afternoon I had WVCY in Oshkosh, WI fade up to a very nice level for a few minutes. I guess they run 250 W daytime. I just dabble in medium wave, and I do like trying the various tests as they come up. I usually set the a receiver and cassette recorder to hear them. dxAce Michigan USA |

It works pretty well. It just covers the AM band and part of 160 meters. At least it can null out some stations easily. Its pretty rough lately on AM with all the HD hash. I usually stay up in the 1600-1700 kHz range. Picked up WPLA Dry Branch, GA on 1670 kHz yesterday at 600 watts. Did not hear Texas on 1330 kHz but you never know when the band will change.

We put that booger on the air during the experimental period all the time and played all kinds of pirate radio stuff like fake commercials and bogus ids. Had a blast. 1580 is a crap channel. 50,000W gets out like 5,000 on 600 Khz. |
