Title: Halifax Coast Guard Radio on 2749 (!)
Post by: alleycat on February 01, 2022, 0245 UTC
Loud clear signal despite high noise (SINFO 55355) on 2749 kHz at 0240z on 1 Feb 2022. Twice announced "Halifax Coast Guard Radio" followed by French (unknown content - I don't speak French) then marine forecast in English. Nothing out of the ordinary - except - in my log notes I notated a while back, "discontinued September 2010". Are my notes wrong, or was the station resurrected?

03:00 UTC - Loud and clear to my location as well. The French portion is the same as the English portion. Weather broadcast and COVID entry restrictions into the country.
