One more CFFX note that I neglected to add: as I was making the long drive from Rochester downstate today, I checked out the CFFX signal one last time on the way east from Rochester. It was coming in quite listenably from just east of Rochester (out of the WROC 950 splash) to just east of

At one time there were a number of Canadian Coast Guard Stations doing weather on (I think) 1630. As I recall, there were stations in Victoria, Prince Rupert, Tofino, and maybe a couple others. I QSLed a couple of them just before they went dark circa 1980. Bruce Eric Floden wrote: I used

Heard (somewhat) easily from Southeastern Michigan, distance approx. 375 miles, but had to null local WWJ 950's nighttime IBOC, and then WFIR suddenly popped up after a long period of fading. Glad I was able to hear them one last time, having also logged them in Dec. 2002, Jan. 2004, Sept. 2005.
