> From Rene' F. Tetro (engineer at WFIL) on IRCA and ABDX:
>  
> The WFIL DX Test will be conducted Sunday Morning from
> 12:00AM - 12:55AM Eastern (0500-0555 UTC).  WFIL is licensed to Philadelphia,
> PA and will be operating on our Daytime Directional Array at 5KW.  The end
> time has been adjusted to 12:55AM, instead of 01:00AM.  This will afford listeners in our
> region to possibly hear other stations on 560. We will turn
> off our carrier from 12:55AM until 1:02AM, which will allow listeners to
> catch top of the hour IDs.
