Only Canadian ever heard among seven listed on 248, two of them also a kilowatt, and four of them also with 2-letter calls lacking a Y- or -Z, but all with a dash of course. 346-MCW kHz, Aug 21 at 0601, dash and YXL, 500 watt NDB from Sioux Lookout, Ontario. It`s way NW of Thunder Bay, not an area we associate today with the Sioux First Nation. This does not explain where the name came from: https://www.northernontario.travel/sunset-country/7-interesting-facts-about-sioux-lookout but a ``Lac Seul`` figures in its history so I wonder if Seul was mistaken as ``Sioux``? -- pronounced soo/sue.
