of a s e t of equiptrent tes ta f o r t h i s coming DX season. Please l i s t these each month i n your Courtesy Program l i s t s . Tests ,wil l be on the 15th of November, December, Jamb ary, and Februarg, from 4:00 to 5:30 b m . , E.S.T. Send reports to Eamar A. Newcomb, General Mmger, Radio Station WAX, PO, Box "L", F a l l s Church, Va. I w i l l be on hand, a s last seayon, t o read DX Tips and l i s t s so send me any l a s t minute t i p s you S v e so that I. m y 2ut them on the air. I t may be of in te res t to the members of the club to know resu l t s of l a s t season's DX programs. Here i s a tabulation of reports a s received by WFAX: Dec, 15 - Reports ~ e c e i v e d - 33 States - 15 Best DX - New Iviexico -

Jan. 15 - 32 17 California 7 Feb. 15 - 8 6 Calif. (2) 1 Mar. 15 - (figures not available but l e s s than Feb.) Last column-indicates

new s t a t e s heard from. ' Totals through all 4 programs, 78 reports, from 23 state#, with 3 from California. I hope that , a l l those reporting WAX l a s t season w i l l do so again t h i s ;year aa Mr. Newcomb is very interested i n the WFAX coverage and i s very kind i n presenting these tbpC8. WFAX has no frequenoy check period as they a r e measured local- ly. WAX operatee daytime only, using the same antenna tower aa WQQW, 570 kc/s., 5 kw. and BQQW-FM, 105.5 mgs.1 For WFAX, the antenna i s a &wave shunt-fed and f o r WQQW i s %'wave. I am at present trging to get WQQW to t e s t at the sane time a s WAX. WQQW i s needed by many DXers. If I can get WQQW on also it w i l l be main* f o r comparitive re- p&ta on both s ta t ions and i t is up t o the DXer to support t h i s whole-heartedly. WQQW i s attempting to get an announcer f o r such a tes t . It is in te res t ing to note tl&t l a s t season. a l l the WAX announcer-s voluntarily took turns ,'in being on a DX t e s t and I ' m sure the progrsms were more interest ing than maw of the t e s t s we tune in. During one plo- gram an actual l i ve ta len t musical show was on hand! Last season WAX received 2 thank- you cards fmom DXers who t r i ed but didn' t hear WAX. Also about 3 second reports with thank-yous where no ver i f icat ion was required. These were gratefully appreciated. Our goal on these tes ta - "Down Under."
