General Radio Discussion / Re: CFVP 6030 likely going dark

CFVP had been on my "try to catch" list for decades, but was never able to make it here through the QRM from Radio Marti and the Cuban Jammers.
I'm not too surprised the stations are going dark, it sounds like they tried to sell them, but found no takers. While those of us in the radio hobby may not want to admit it, AM radio as we know it is dying, and no amount of re-arranging the deck chairs on the Titanic (changes in programming, more local content, whatever) is going to save it. The operating costs are simply too high.
I'd love to see the AM band allow low power / hobbyists stations as some European countries have done, but the odds of that happening here are about zero.
