The FM station will operate at 94.5 MHz (channel 233C1) with an average effective radiated power (ERP) of 3,300 watts (maximum ERP of 6,290 watts with an effective height of antenna above average terrain of 420.5 metres).

Wow!! What a surprise. I have been fortunate to log and QSL CFWH and also the one of 610, but they are rare and it took a beverage aimed N/NW to log them some years back. I am sad to hear about this as it will make future loggings of the Yukon almost impossible, as 610 is really tough. Then, how soon will they move to FM, leaving only a handfull of LPRTs. 73, Patrick Patrick Martin KGED QSL Manager ___ IRCA mailing list IRCA@hard-core-dx.com http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/irca Opinions expressed in messages on this mailing list are those of the original contributors and do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the IRCA, its editors, publishing staff, or officers For more information: http://www.ircaonline.org To Post a message: irca@hard-core-dx.com

And from what I remember it took a concentrated effort using a BOG and many timer sessions to do so. Unfortunately I was never able to log CKRW-610 because of you know who. You take care down there.

Patrick I have heard CFWH several times at Grayland on northwestern Beverages. I make a point to check 570 on DXpeditions as a possible indication of good Alaskan or TP openings. It has been known to dominate when northern conditions are really good. I logged CKRW-610 once in the early 70s at signoff under KFRC. KONA and the Canadians signed off every night back then, which made it possible to hear the Yukon station. Even so, I think I was incredibly lucky to have heard them.

Once with the NW EWE in recent years. 73, Patrick Patrick Martin KGED QSL Manager ___ IRCA mailing list IRCA@hard-core-dx.com http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/irca Opinions expressed in messages on this mailing list are those of the original contributors and do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the IRCA, its editors, publishing staff, or officers For more information: http://www.ircaonline.org To Post a message: irca@hard-core-dx.com

Hi Bruce, I remember you logging CKRW. Yes, that is a rare one. I noted CFWH a time or two with the NW EWE, but after I logged and QSL'd it I did not check as often. It may have been there other times. I always look for KFQD or KYUK as they are much easier than CFWH. KVI is pretty strong here too. 73, Patrick Patrick Martin KGED QSL Manager ___ IRCA mailing list IRCA@hard-core-dx.com http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/irca Opinions expressed in messages on this mailing list are those of the original contributors and do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the IRCA, its editors, publishing staff, or officers For more information: http://www.ircaonline.org To Post a message: irca@hard-core-dx.com
