WGGH-1150 Marion, IL DX Test

TEST CANCELED

We've just received confirmation from Paul Walker that the DX test scheduled for WGGH 1150 in Marion IL for Feb. 6, 2009 has been canceled. A test may be scheduled at later date.



Date: Saturday morning (late Friday night) Feb 6, 2010.
Time: 0000-0200 CST (0600-0800 UTC).
Mode of Operation: 5000 watts (daytime pattern).
Programming: classic country and oldies music along with tons of various sound effects. It should be fairly easy to identify the station, as our slogan is somewhat unique, "Monster Radio AM 1150". We also have TM Century jingles, including one used every hour for a legal id (spoken.."Southern Illinois Trusted Voice Since 1949, (sung) AM 1150 WGGH Marion"
QSL Information: MUST send a self addressed envelope with at least 2 stamps, otherwise you will not get a reply. Please send reception reports to:

Paul B. Walker, Jr.
WGGH-AM 1150
P.O. Box 340
Marion, IL 62959

I will want to know your location, types of radio used, when/what you heard. If you send a CD, do NOT send the entire test, just a few relevant clips. If you send a cassette tape, cue it up to where it needs to be or I won't listen. Our webstreaming will be disabled during this test. -- Paul Walker, Jr.


Many thanks to Paul for organizing this test!
