A late report from the Great White North... I wasn't planning to be up for this one, just try unattended recording, but as it happened, I woke up to a call of nature around 0235 EDT, so I wandered down to the radio room to have a quick listen. I was gratified to hear some sweep tones almost immediately. After a quick chat with Les, Marc and Brandon on #mwdx, I headed back to the sack, secure in the knowledge that I had something recorded from KMTI. Checking the recordings today, I found that the signal improved somewhat after 0300... starting at 0309, and several times thereafter, in addition to the sweeps, there were some nice code IDs: "DE KMTI KMTI KMTI MANTI UT". A welcome addition to the log indeed, UT #4 and 650 #11. Thanks to all involved!
An interesting 650 sidelight: a little past 0500, a signal with the Canadian anthem climbed on top, followed by a clear "La Premiere Chaine de Radio-Canada" ID. This could only be CBF3, a 40 W LPRT in Lebel-sur-Quevillon QC, about 400 km north of here. I checked the log, and I've only heard this one once before - strangely enough, it was exactly two years ago, on March 19, 2005!
