It also does not surprise me. So many SW stations have shut down. Many
can stream the service anyway. Where we used to have SW stations like
the BBC, now we have BBC World on cable, satellite, & streaming. We
used to have Radio Moscow, now the TV Service Russia Today, DW, now
DWTV, and the list goes on. TRT (Turkey) just launched their 24/7
International News TV that streams. Scratching and fading reception
from 40 years ago is now being replaced by crystal clear streaming,
often in HD and Stereo. Of course not all have access to streaming,
but a lot of the world does.

I have the perfect location for one form the standpoint we are 200 miles
from the nearest operating AM station. My location is also 3-4ish miles
from the nearest power lines. There is no cell service out at my proposed
Dx'ing site so live updates would be impossible.
It is unfortunately cold, very very cold... -25-30 below on average right
now.
My boss knows of my intentions and is ok with me using the land a few miles
outside of Galena for this for a night or two.
We could get a tent and find a way to heat it but we'd need alot of
batteries to keep radios ad laptops running
I've got a place that can hold 3 people, in addition to me.. my 2nd bedroom
can hold 2 folks and the living room couch can hold 1 person.
No AM RF interference or overload, no electrical interference.. and
darkness after 4pm in January, 430pm in February. All you'd need to do is
pay for the airfare to get here.There is plenty of room for antennas.
I really want to do this, but it'd be pretty hard for me to accomplish it
alone, I think.
A few Dx'ers have discussed this offlist but I'd really like to see it
happen.

From Alaska, maybe it's more likely to hear one of the CBC stations in
BC or in the NWT or the Yukon? CBC does carry BBC programming at times.
They share a monarch, so why not newscasts as well.
CBDB (AM) in Watson Lake, Yukon
CBDW in Norman Wells, Northwest Territories
CBF-16 in Clova, Quebec
CBKN (AM) in Shalalth, British Columbia
CBOF-1 in Maniwaki, Quebec
CBQF in Carmacks, Yukon
CBQJ in Ross River, Yukon
CBW (AM) in Winnipeg, Manitoba
CBY in Corner Brook, Newfoundland and Labrador
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/990_AM
Check the FCC AM Query for technical details, and the CBC website(s) for
schedules, maybe this gives Paul clues as to which one he might have
heard. Keep listening for local weather/news/commercials.

Not sure if it's still the case, but at one point CBC carried not only BBC,
but the Worldradio network between 1-5 am or thereabouts.

They have been gone for a couple of weeks now after sounding like crap for
a month -
We may have heard the last of this little station from the West Coast.
I will check with my technical contacts at the CBC about its health and
wellness.
For those seeking LP (Low power) shortwave transmissions from Western
Canada -
CFVP on 6030 khz is very much still alive - and audible here today on the
Island.
All the best of the season everyone!
