DX TEST -- 960 CFFX ON Kingston TIME: Early morning of Tuesday January 15 (Monday night).
MODE OF OPERATION: CFFX will test using its 10,000-watt daytime directional pattern. PROGRAMMING: Regular adult contemporary programming. Special test material will consists of three hourly voice announcements followed by special test material lasting several minutes. These will air roughly at the top of the hour, at approximately 0000, 0100 and 0200 EST, give or take a few minutes depending on the program log. Wouldn't surprise me if voice ancts are just before the TOH. CFFX is completing its move to 104.3 on the FM band this morning, and 960 is scheduled to sign off for goood at 0600 EST. It also wouldn't surprise me if they keep the same power and pattern until the very end. As part of the transition, the AM has simulcast the FM for the past three months. This test marks the final phase of the transition, and the test content will also air on 104.3. This is your last chance to log CFFX on 960, so for those of you who tend to sleep through these things (you know who you are, heh, been there done that) if it takes two alarm clocks to wake you, well, you've been warned! I plan to be awake and DXing 960 (and other channels if cx warrant) through the 0000-0210 EST test period and am happy to take calls (not collect) at 705-454-9636.
