Autumn 2009 Frequency Measuring Test (November 11 at 9:45 PM EST - 0245z November 12)

 
 

New Frequency Measuring Test Schedule

A new set of transmissions has been added to the November 2009 Frequency Measuring Test.  K5CM in Oklahoma will make additional transmissions on 160 and 80 meters following the transmissions of West Coast station WA6ZTY.  K5CM's central location should provide a much stronger signal in mid-continental areas. The complete schedule for the FMT is as follows:

W1AW beginning at 0245Z

80 meters - near 3597 kHz

40 meters - near 7097 kHz

WA6ZTY beginning at 0300Z

40 meters - near 7096 kHz

K5CM beginning at 0315Z

160 meters - near 1845 kHz

80 meters - near 3578 kHz

All transmissions will consist of a call-up/QST transmission lasting for approximately three-minutes, followed by three 20-second key-down periods of unmodulated carrier.
