Nice grab. Glad to see 9007 still has traffic.  Passed over it tonight a few times.  Hope 11232 from Trenton is active.  Have not heard much.

Yes, 11232.0 kHz is still active. Logged it last on 15 July 2022.

It seems Trenton Military is also back on 6.754 USB,  2337 28 July 2022 UTC, they were on the air giving weather reports.  Nice to hear them back.

Staffing of technicians is a major challenge, specially at this time of year with summer block leave and the annual posting season. Those folks in the HF shop look after a vast territory (pretty much all strategic HF assets across Canada and overseas). I have not looked at Government Contracts recently but last time I looked it had gotten to a point that it was so bad that the Government had a tender to the private industry for maintenance of the various sites to relieve pressure on the techs.

01:30 UTC - Confirmed, TRENTON VOLMET is back on the air.
