The Courtesy Program Committee (CPC) of the IRCA and NRC are pleased to announce a DX Test for WENR 1090 kHz in Englewood, TN. The test will run on Sunday, March 14, 2021, starting at Midnight EST (05:00 UTC) until 3:00 AM EDT. *This is a two-hour duration test. The change to daylight savings time occurs just as the test is ending. The station will run only legal voice identification, Morse Code identifications, sweep tones, and sound effects. No music, announcements, or other material. This should maximize the chances of DX’ers hearing this rare daytime station.

A LONG LIST OF THANK YOUS
This test would not be possible with the generosity of many. First, the station owner Michael Beverly who agreed to this test after a recent upgrade of the station’s automation equipment. Chief Engineer George Hudson encouraged the station to use the testing of new remote and automation controls as the bias for this special event. Phil Bytheway of the International Radio Club of America started all this rolling by reaching out to George Hudson months ago as part of his specialized sub-interest of collection radio station promotional materials. Paul Walker, Joe Miller, KC80, and our newest members, Loyd Van Horn, W4LVH, and George Santulli. These folks do all the real work of the CPC and never get enough credit.
