ZL LF DX TESTING ON 1 DECEMBER

Two ZL LF stations will be transmitting on September 1 December.  Separate
frequencies are allocated to each participating station, as summarised in
the following table:

FREQUENCY SCHEDULE FOR TRANSPAC TESTING

FREQUENCY  STATION   LOCATION
 kHz
137.7898          ZL6QH     Near Wellington
182.000            ZL3VN     Christchurch

SIGNAL FORMATS
ZL6QH will send QQQQQ... with dual frequency CW, using plus and minus 0.2 Hz
shift, 120 second dot length.  Q will be encoded as 137.7900, 137.7900,
137.7896, 137.7900 kHz, and then a 120 second gap before starting the next
Q.  The ten minute sequences will be nominally synchronised with the hour
(there could be some minor slippage in the control software).  ZL6QH will
transmit from well before ZL sunset to well after ZL sunrise, which is
approximately over the period 0700 to 1800 UTC on 1 December.

ZL2VN will send ZL3VN ZL3VN ... with single frequency QRSS CW, using 3
second dot length, for a 30 minute period, then send VN VN ... using 20
second dot length.  Sequences will nominally commence on the hour and half
hour.

Reception reports can be emailed to [email protected] or else posted to the
reflector.

Good luck to all prospective listeners.

73, Bob ZL2CA
