Shades of 1999! The original occupants, CBF and CBM, went silent in early 1999 (January and May, respectively, I think), and CINF and CINW showed up in November of that year. For the months in between, 690 and 940 were a happy hunting ground for AM DXers in the northeast. I had a total of 30 new loggings on those two channels during that period, but there's still lots more stations to look for... should be fun!
