This evening around 0500UT, 1566 had possibly strongest carrier heard yet in Victoria. Not quite audio, but strong enough to make one think about the possibility of hearing TWR Benin. The carrier itself was spread out over a 2Hz spread around 1566, so not an easy journey through the polar re

This much-anticipated (NOT!) near-local noted testing with classical music, announcements mentioning test transmissions and giving phone 647-501-1700 or email cknt...@gmail.com to report interference. It's certainly taken long enough for this station (format will be news-talk) to get on the air be

I noticed that CJYQ-930 in St. John's, NF is listed as 25kw day and 3.5kw night non-directional on MWList and on the topazdesigns list. At one time, did it use 25kw at night with a directional antenna as listed on the FCC site, and itemized in a 2013 NRC pattern book? I seem to recall a fire
