WYFR Last Night Of Broadcasts is Tonite!
« on: June 30, 2013, 2236 UTC »
Just in case you need that WYFR QSL, this is supposed to be their last day of transmissions.
You can catch them now [2230] to I think 0330 on 6115 in English to Canada.
Receiver: Tecsun S-2200x, JRC NRD-525, 535 and 545, Icom IC-7300
Aerial: MFJ G5RV dipole
near Lowell Massachusetts - Gateway To The Merrimack Valley.
All loggings are from my QTH with my equipment unless stated otherwise.

It could be they still are under contract to relay others such as Radio Taiwan even though they have stopped all WYFR programming?
