I have e mailed CKWX twice, without a reply. So they know it.
Of course they do.
There are two things going on here: one is the public story CKWX puts
out to its listeners, and one is the negotiating that's taking place
behind the scenes between CKWX and KPWX.
99.999% of CKWX's listeners don't understand the intricacies of AM
propagation and ionospheric science; it's a pretty good bet that their
meteorologist doesn't, either. And based on my experience, something
like 99.99% of newspeople and station management don't know the E-layer
from their sock drawer, and don't care.
What matters publicly is that the station's listeners know the station
is aware that something is wrong, and that the station is trying to do
something about it. So they put out this story, and that crisis is
averted, at least for the moment.
Meanwhile, I'm told by sources close to the situation that there have
been discussions underway looking for a real solution. We'll see what
comes of them...
