Date: Saturday morning (late Friday night), Feb. 23, 2008.
Time: Midnight -1 a.m. Eastern Time, 0500 – 0600 UTC.
From midnight until 12:30 a.m. the station will
test with their new daytime pattern and 50 KW
power. From 12:30 until 1 a.m. they will test with
their non-directional pattern and 12.5 KW power.
Previous non-directional tests have been conducted at 5
KW, and this higher power should give more listeners a
chance to hear this station. “We’ll especially be running a
lot of sweep tones since they seem to get the best results.
Morse IDs, steady 2 kHz tones, and some odd ball music –
which I have yet to pick,” says Chief Engineer and DXer
René Tetro.
Reception reports may be sent to René at:
WNTP
117 Ridge Pike
Lafayette Hill, PA 19444
E-mail reception reports may also be submitted to:
rtetro@pobox.com
“If sending an audio recording, I prefer CD or mp3 (MP3s
can be an attachment to an e-mail, provided the size
doesn’t exceed 3-4 mb),” René adds. No eQSL service is
being offered for this test. This is the fourth year in a row
that René will conduct a test over WNTP, but this higher
transmitter power opens up lots of new possibilities.
NOTE: All requests for verifications must be accompanied
by return postage in order to receive a reply. Many thanks
to René for his great support over the years to DXers and
our hobby, and in particular for conducting this test.
