The Courtesy Program Committee (CPC) of the National Radio Club and the International Radio Club of America are tracking the status of high school football in all 50 states during the 2020 DX season.

COVID-19 has impacted sports at all levels. Some states have opted to delay their seasons until later in the fall or even the spring. Many have delayed the start of the season, and some have cancelled.

This means a lot of unique opportunities for DX’ers this Fall and Winter. You may also want to check individual station websites if you’re targeting a particular station. For example, here in Alabama HSFB is being played, but individual cancellations due to COVID-19 are common.

A school may be forced to forfeit one or two games in a row due to a coronavirus outbreak on their team. This too means a cancellation of the local radio broadcast.

The CPC hopes this aids DX’ers in their pursuit to log new ones this year.

I've been asked by a ham radio club to do a presentation on DXing in rural
central Alaska. I spent about 16 months in Galena, back in 2016 and 2017
while working as the program director for a public/community radio station.

It was a very unique situation with some special considerations one might
not have to deal with elsewhere. I spent alot of time and money
experimenting there and had some pretty amazing results.

I will also briefly discuss what it was like as a radio broadcaster in
Alaska and the technical challenges we faced in the course of doing
business every day.

The presentation will be done using the Zoom smartphone app and website.
You don't need to have or enable the camera on your phone or computer to
participate and there will also be options to simply dial in and listen by
phone as well for those who don't want to use the computer or have a smart
phone.

The presentation will be on Friday October 30th at 8pm eastern time. Pre
registration is required but its very simple and easy. I'd love to have you
there. Please spread the word to any ham clubs, dxing clubs, email lists,
facbeook groups or messages boards.

Register in advance for the meeting:
https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZItcuGhpz8tEtHwAmriwdCX7Sv-coWdSNt2

Email me directly, walkerbroadcasting@gmail.com with any questions and if I
don't have an answers, I'll refer you to the club managers for assistance.

Steve Howe relayed a message from WNJC Chief Engineer Duke Hamann:

"I am planning on doing another DX Test this Sunday at midnight EDT (0400 UTC) for one hour at our nighttime power and pattern. If all goes well, I am planning on doing it over the next 4 Sundays to give people something to listen for :)”

CPC NOTE: This is late night Saturday night-early Sunday on the East Coast of the United States and Europe. WNJC’s normal night power is 800 watts, with an antenna pattern that favors the SSE. There is also a smaller lobe towards the NNW.
