KCKM 1330 Monahans, TX will be conducting a DX Test on Saturday, March 22, 2014 from 0100 to
0130 ELT (Midnight-0030 CLT). The test will be at full daytime power of 12,000 watts using a nondirectional
pattern into a five-eighths wave tower. The test will consist mainly of Morse Code, sweep
tones and sound effects known to cut through the mud. There will be a few voice announcements
spread out throughout the 30-minute test.
Reports sent via E-mail are preferred, but will accept reports submitted via snail mail. If you send an
E-mail, please send MP3 attachments only; WAV files would be too big.
E-mail reports are to be sent to bob@kckm1330.com
Snail mail reports can be sent with a CD or cassette cued up to the best part of the reception. The
mailing address is:
KCKM AM 1330
Attention: Bob Souza, Owner and General Manager
P.O. Box 990

Bob has said a verification post card will be sent. A single stamp is encouraged to help defray the cost
of postage. Bob didn’t ask for that, but it will be a kind gesture.
If there are any questions or any information left out, Paul will be glad to take your E-mail directly at

(This DX test was arranged by Paul Walker.)
