Nice audio on the beverage, barely audible on the sky loop.

I was checking to see if CFRX was back on 6070, but apparently not yet.

CKZN has been coming in nicely here, and many checks for CFRX have turned up nothing.

I would be interested in knowing if CFVP 6030 is still on the air.  I have been checking that from time to time to no avail.  I have not seen a definitive statement on the tubes that it has been shut down.  Anybody know?

I checked their website, and while they do not say if they are on 6030, they are now "Funny 1060" and run comedy 24/7. That should make it much easier to ID.

6030 Calgary is definitely on the air.  I have several SDR's that can be accessed remotely (on the Perseus client and also an SDR-IQ on the SDR Anywhere client) that hear 6030 during the daytime here as it is semi local to me.

Thanks Don!

It's nice to have some simple goals for each upcoming DX season.  Back in the day, catching all the Canadian SW relays was a goal for many guys in the Chicago area.  This is obviously outdated, but still relevant as it represents a cool goal that helps fill in the time when the funny bands are quiet.
