CHU Shutdown June 22 circa 1410 UTC
« on: June 18, 2026, 1150 UTC »
Per Sheldon Harvey: They are saying it will "probably" happen on June 22nd, 2026 at 10:10 AM EDT; 1410 UTC

It would be funny if a pirate signed on 7850 with a broadcast right after they shut down.

It would be funny if they mimicked WWV for a few hours. Bonus points if you could do all three frequencies

I will certainly miss CHU when it's gone.
Default RX location is Wisconsin using various wire antennas. Other RX will be noted.

Very sad if they indeed go thru with it!

Thanx Chris for the thread!

Four frequencies! Don't forget about the 6660 kHz harmonic!  ;D

The CHU engineer would like to forget that frequency.  :P
