Canadian Missing from 6160?
« on: April 02, 2014, 2340 UTC »
Cant see anything on 6160, which is usually audible here (or at least detectable) at this hour. Zilch. 2340

I have a very weak carrier visible here at 2350z, just under 6160.  My guess is this is the Vancouver stn, but not sure.  St. John's is usually far stronger than what I am seeing now.

I made a recording this morning. It does sound weaker than usual, and was just below 6160, 6159.975 in fact. I think St John's usually runs slightly above 6160?

They have been back on when I have checked recently. Unfortunately, it appears that CFRX is down again.....

Yeah, I noticed that this afternoon. Conservation of Canadian SW, I guess.

Now how the heck will I get my Toronto traffic reports?
