**DX TEST** 620 WZON (Bangor, ME) DEC 22 at 0600 UTC
« on: December 13, 2024, 0757 UTC »
As some of you may already know, 620 WZON in Bangor, Maine is set to go off the air at the end of this year, along with a cluster of other area FM stations Stephen King (yes, that Stephen King) owns. Thanks to a few DXers, the chief engineer at WZON, and the IRCA/NRC CPC, a DX test has been arranged for 620 WZON. This may be the only chance for many DXers outside the upper eastern half of the US to get Maine in their MW log.

The test will be on Sunday Dec 22 at 1am EST (0600 UTC). Duration has yet to be determined. The DX Test program material has not yet been detailed but will likely consist of Morse code, 1kHz tones, sweep tones, and other sound effects.
Receiver: Unlisted KiwiSDR configured to 3-channel wideband mode.
Ant: Homemade "Wellgood" 1m amplified loop normally kept in a fixed position (NNW/SSE) to keep 1500 KSTP in the null.
