Poor for TPs this morning. 594 was the best with weak to medium
audio--apparently China, if all the JJ NHK's are signed off at 1500 utc.
567, 666, 1593 with poor audio, in the 1500-1550 utc period. LWBC with the

Anyway, the point's moot: Brent Taylor's response answered the question
quite well.
It was six years ago today that CHWO changed its frequency from 1250 to 740 and
its power increased to 50,000 watts.
As you know for many years, CBL occupied that frequency until they decided to
move to FM along with several other CBC outlets.
Although CHWO is not hard for most DXers to find,

The -43 core is recommended down to 1 MHZ and declines in performance just a
little down to .5 MHZ so you should not have a fatal problem with the 43.
What you do need is a more turns of wire. You need a minimum of 10 turns on
the rx side and 30 on the antenna side for a -43 core at .5

Both of my EWEs are higher. The SW EWE is now about 25X100X25 (Used to
be 20X100X20, but the tree keeps growing. hi). I put that one in 1981.
The newer EWE I put in a couple years ago is 22X55X22. I tried ones that
were lower like 10 or 12 feet. They never worked all that well. As
