they'll have code or tones or both, but they will most likely test from
12:30-1am ELT (11:30-12:00 CLT).

12:00-?? am EST:
Patrick Martin in Rancho Mirage, CA reports he logged them while phasing
KXOL, and WMIB's signal was best between 0100 and 0200 on his Hammerlund

Renfrew in Rochester, NY heard WMIB with oldies and test announcements

WMIB at 0629 UTC and heard them with a good signal. Ron Gitschier
reports that WMIB is coming in like gangbusters in Acapulco, Mexico,
despite lightning crashes in the area. Bob Foxworth, in Tampa, FL, says
he heard the WMIB test well above WQSN at 0100 local time. Skip in
Phoenix, AZ reports that the test came in well on a Drake SW8 and
Quantum Loop. Steve Francis in Alcoa, TN heard WMIB CE Phil Beckman take

This is it - confirmation from SES Luxembourg that a new radio service
called Radio Luxembourg 208 is due to start on ASTRA channel 13
7.38Mhz.+7.56Mhz. (soon?). This is therefore an official confirmation
and is quite exciting.
I will ask if 1440 khz is included in these plans.

KXXT-1340 is now oldies (again); their several year experiment with an
all sports format is over. They were one of the stations Clear Channel
was using to fill in the holes in KXTA-1150's coverage. They are the
third one to drop out; 1350 in San Bernardino and 1220 in Canyon Country
preceded it. KAVL-610 and KBET-850 remain //KXTA. KXXT's slogan is "Cool
Oldies 1340". They are carrying the oldies that were on KIST (KXXT's old
call for over 50 years) 107.7, which flipped to CHR at noon today. Knock
me over with a feather.

Mark Connelly - WA1ION@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
Greetings to all. I had a great DX session on Wednesday night (15
MAR) at Granite Pier in Rockport, MA. This time, unlike some other
sessions, I got quite a bit of it on tape (highlights may be played at
Friday's BADX meeting).
It was a mostly clear, chilly, and very windy night over at the pier.
I had to retract the 1.8 m whips (making up the two sides of the
broadband loop) some as the setup was becoming physically unstable in
the high gusts. I recently acquired two of Wellbrook's fine broadband
loop amplifiers from Andy Ikin. One of these amplifiers was used for
this session: it performed admirably.
Saudi Arabia was running all-night with speeches and Koran on a number
of channels. Not only was 1521 its usual booming self, but I had a huge
parallel signal on 594. The Saudi-1440 outlet overtook the domestics
for awhile around 0212 UTC (16 MAR).
There was a good signal from Greece-981 at 0133 UTC. Middle Eastern
music was heard behind Croatia-1134 (so maybe Kuwait). Iran-1503 peaked
at 0032 UTC with a good signal. 702, a generally-unproductive channel
on many outings, offered Morocco early and Slovakia later. Usual big-
guns from the UK, Ireland, Spain, Germany, Switzerland, Netherlands,
Croatia, Norway, Italy, Egypt, Morocco, Algeria, etc. were all
thundering in. Several UK stations (including "Talk Sports" ex "Talk
Radio" - 1053/1089) had news stories about BMW acquiring the Rover car
company. Ceuta-1584 was spot-on 1584.0 rather than 1583.6.
Caribbean / South American signals were there, but they weren't of
high enough quality to steer me away from the exciting Trans-Atlantic
action.
I experienced another great DX session from 2200 UTC on 18 MAR to 0030
UTC, 19 MAR. This time I listened from the Powder Point Bridge site in
Duxbury, MA: one of the best DXing locations south of Boston and north
of Cape Cod. Many common European MW stations were in at good levels.
A number of Middle Eastern signals were also noted. The better catches
included the RASD station from Algeria (or is it W.Sahara/Morocco ?) on
1540 (slicing through nulled powerhouse WPTR !), Syria-783, Jordan-801,
Israel-1206, and then at 0013 UTC - the best catch of them all -
Armenia-864 blasting its musical-box style Trans-World Radio interval
signal right over the usual Egyptian Koran juggernaut. Between this
outing and my trip out to Rockport, MA a few days earlier, I must say
that I've heard more good DX in the last week than in the entire three-
month winter season preceding it. I see that Ben Dangerfield in PA also
had good results. I hope that all of you who like MW DX took advantage
of these spectacular openings.
