Another test from KOTZ would be excellent if you could arrange it, Paul, especially if the three Chicago stations, 670 WSCR, 720 WGN and 780 WBBM, were to schedule joint down time sometime this DX season. My recollection of the last KOTZ test March 10, 2012 (and thank you very much for arranging

OOPS, I forgot one! Here is how KYUK 640 sounded in Galena at 310 miles away to my north/northeast at 229AM on Saturday September 10th. I was using a Grundig Sattelit 750 and a 225 foot long wire. Here's the recording of the 10kw signal *https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dUYQp-CGd5o

I didn't hear Bhutan Broadcasting on 6035khz like I was hoping to on Saturday early morning, so I went hopping the AM band. Here is KOTZ 720 Kotzebue, Alaska with 10kw at 219 miles to my Northwest with KDWN 720 Las Vegas very clear underneath at times. Wen KOTZ would have dead air between the
