[IRCA] KCKN 1020khz Maintenance Test!! April 3rd!

["Les Rayburn" <les@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

 With regret, we have to announce the cancellation of the WKHB test 
scheduled
for this coming weekend, but we do have a great "replacement" in the form of
a 10kw Non-Directional test from KCKN in New Mexico! Read below for
details and good DX!



==================================
KXTO 1550khz Reno, NV  DX Test
Date(s): January 22, 2006-March 2006
Time: 01:00 PST (0900 UTC) & 04:00 PST (1200 UTC)
** Program format varies. Test will run as close to TOH as possible.

 :60 Second long tests in duration. "Inventory Insert" format.

Modes of Operation: Normal-"Inventory Insert"
94 Watts, Non-Directional

Programming: Morse Code ID's, Sweep Tones, Voice ID.

Notes:  Test will continue for an undetermined amount of time, possibly 
several weeks so hopefully many DX'ers will find favorable propagation at 
least one or two nights prior to the end of the test. The station has also 
stated that they will be doing transmitter maintenance at some point within 
the next two months, and may be able to accommodate a full power (2.5KW) 
test at that time. More details as they become available. Nevada is a rare 
state for many of us in the East, so enjoy this rare chance!

Reception reports are desired via e-mail (first choice) and
snail mail (only if e-mail is not available) Station would prefer
to received recordings of the test (MP3, CD, or cassette).
