WBCQ-6 Super Station will be testing 12120, 15705 & 17735 kHz

USA   Next week WBCQ-6 Super Station will be testing on
3 new frequencies 12120, 15705 and 17735 kHz at various
times staring at 50 kW, then 100, 150, 200, 250, 500 kW
0900-1157 on 15705 BCQ 500 kW / 060 deg to N/ME  Arabic
1200-1957 on 17735 BCQ 500 kW / 060 deg to N/ME  Arabic
2000-0857 on 12120 BCQ 500 kW / 060 deg to N/ME  Arabic
This corresponds to the latest HFCC registration Arabic
only as 500 kW / 060 deg only, so who needs a rotatable
antenna? Oblivious of the continuous RTTY on 12120 kHz,
who won`t be too happy about being blasted by 500 kW of
broadcast. Per UDXF Logs, it`s the US Navy`s ubiquitous
NAU in Isabela, Puerto Rico.  So WBCQ must have got the
needed documentation on how to tune up on other frequen
cies than 9330.  But are there any ex-Ampegon engineers
back at WBCQ by now? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DXLD August 31)
