Many thanks to KKMO Chief Engineer Monte Passmore for agreeing to conduct this test.

UPDATE from CE Monte Passmore: I will start with sweep tones followed by a quick station identifier then a tone at 1,000 Hz followed by another station identifier. I will repeat this sequence for ten minutes from 12:00-12:10 am and then follow with college football marching music for three minutes from 12:10am to 12:13am followed
by the same station identifier sweep tones and a station identifier to conclude at approx 12:15am. We will then go back to our normal programming.

Just a note to say Morse code and sweep tones HAVE been added for this test so be sure to listen for them as well.
