KFS 12695.5

[ve6pg]

I'm hearing KFS calling CQ on 12695.5 Khz..good signal into Ontario.
What is the status of the station? Is it still handling traffic? It says it is listening on "hf ch2", but I have no idea where that might be.
Years back, there were news reports about it shutting down, the end of morse on HF etc..

Thanks..

Very nice signal tonight. Not sure what Channel 3 is and the following should provide more information about the current status of KFS.
