I ditched an evening at Burnt River ON after the power went out with a moderate wind storm, so I won't be trying for CKMO. But for the rets of you... Via Walt Salmaniw:
Just happened to be listening to CKMO Village 900 here in Victoria. Well surprise, surprise: They're frequently having CW ID's!!! At 7:49 AM local (15:49 UTC) between songs, there was a rapid CW ID as "CKMO 900 AM". After the news at 8:06 AM local, this was heard: "You're listening to CKMO 900 AM, broadcasting from the Lansdowne campus of Camosun College, Victoria. We are Village 900". This was immediately followed by rapid Morse code, this time: "CKMO 900 AM Victoria BC Canada". I suspect that this will be the case from now until they sign-off for good sometime tomorrow. Now's the time to go after them, folks. Now I understand what the program director (and ex-amateur) meant when he said that he was planning some "flourishes" before they permanently leave the air tomorrow (at midnight local time -- that is, March 5 at 0800 UTC). I have no idea about QSLs - please contact the station for those. I gather it will continue online. Thanks to the various DXers who contacted CKMO.
