WNTP 990 kHz DX Test
Tuesday, March 01 2005
WNTP 990khz Philadelphia, PA TEST
Date(s): March 4, 2005 (Late Friday night into Saturday morning)
Time: 00:00AM EST until 02:00AM EST (2 Hour Test)
Modes of Operation: 50kw Day Pattern
Programming: 50hz thru 10khz test tones, Phonetic Voice ID's, Dead Air
Notes: CE Rene Tetro will be conducting an audio proof of the transmitter
after making some changes to the system. Mr. Tetro will be measuring
frequency response, THD, and IMD products of WNTP while running
full power on the day time antenna. If time permits, he will repeat these
tests using the standard 10kw night pattern.
This is not a DX test. There will be no Morse Code ID's, and frequently
there will be "dead air". It is hoped that DX'ers will be able to hear some
of the tones, especially those in the 2-4khz range.
Tones will be transmitted at four modulation levels: 95%,
75%, 50%, and 25%. Rene has also agreed to run some limited
phonetic voice ID's. These will be a high pitched female voice,
identifying the station in phonetics.
THIS IS WNTP PERFORMING TRANSMITTER TESTING. WNTP. WHISKEY NORWAY TANGO PAPA TESTING.

Rene will send out QSL cards, but please be patient.
Special thanks to Rene Tetro for alerting us to this transmitter test, and agreeing to run the
provided phonetic ID's. Hopefully conditions will be less AU than during the recent WNTP DX test.
