CKZN and maybe CKZU 6160 AM 1150 UTC 12 Sep 2014

I have CKZN St Johns Newfoundland on 6159.959, close to the 6159.962 where I have observed them the last few days.

I also have a carrier on 6159.975. I suspect this may be CKZN Vancouver. jFarley reported them on 6159.98 back in 2013. Anyone out west know their present carrier frequency?

Here is a screen capture of CKZN from 23:24 utc  9-14-2014

The carrier for CKZU (CBC Radio 1 Vancouver) is on 6159.984 khz
Note the UNID carrier to the left of CK's is on 6159.975 khz

I have good audio from CK but nothing heard from the other carrier even though it often is briefly higher in strength than CK's ?

00:06 utc I take it back - now hearing some audio underneath CKZU but can't make an ID.

Thanks Rockpicker. Looks like I had your 6159.975 mystery station here as well, instead of CKZU.
