Back when Oshawa was still on, Akron was a big problem in the evenings. Way back in the day, CKLB carried Montreal Expos baseball. I remember loaning my brother my Realistic TRF so that he could try and listen to CKLB in the evening. This was back in 1980-1981 or so when the Expos were contending for the National League East. We were about 34 miles to the west of the CKLB xmtr.

Looks like their null is protecting what used to be CKDO-1350. And now that CKDO is gone, would there be any reason for that null to continue? WARF could certainly tweak its pattern a little if it wanted to. 73, Rick Dau South Omaha, Nebraska ________________________________ From: Niel Wolfish <[email protected]> To: AM <[email protected]> Cc: IRCAIRCAList <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, November 13, 2011 4:34 PM Subject: [IRCA] 1350 CIRA-5 I guess I'm now the fourth or fifth person to log this new station. Heard on the car radio this afternoon at 5:02 p.m. with a young girl speaking in French. Parallel to 1670. As the car radio only tunes in increments of 10 kHz, I can't say exactly what frequency they were on. However, somebody is definitely off frequency, as there's quite a rumble noise on 1350. Soon faded down and WOYK-York PA began dominating. I don't recall hearing the old occupant on 1350 (CHOV/CHRO Pembroke) too many times, but back in those days we had Oshawa (CKLB/CKDO) on 1350 to contend with. Thanks to Barry in Ottawa for the tip.
