[IRCA] 540 kHz in Saskatchewan
After trying for this station in Watrous, Saskatchewan for a long time, I finally got it Oct 5, 2013 at 0330 Pacific time (1030 UTC), after KVIP in Northern California and the big Mexicans on 540 faded out. Distance from my SF Bay area is 1240 miles. Rx was a Winradio Excalibur and 95 foot random wire. After a few years that was a nice catch. _ Neil Bell, KJ6FBA ___ IRCA mailing list IRCA@hard-core-dx.com http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/irca Opinions expressed in messages on this mailing list are those of the original contributors and do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the IRCA, its editors, publishing staff, or officers For more information: http://www.ircaonline.org To Post a message: irca@hard-core-dx.com

Congrats on the Saskatchewan logging. I remember when CBK (then) Regina was mostly dominant on the frequency here in Southern CA. XEWA was a factor as well, but back then few U.S. stations in the west were on 540 nights. ---Mike Sanburn > Date: Sun, 6 Oct 2013 16:12:35 -0700 > From: neil.neilb...@gmail.com > To: irca@hard-core-dx.com > Subject: [IRCA] 540 kHz in Saskatchewan > > After trying for this station in Watrous, Saskatchewan for a long time, > I finally got it Oct 5, 2013 at 0330 Pacific time (1030 UTC), after KVIP > in Northern California and the big Mexicans on 540 faded out.

Congrats of CBK. A strong signal here and generally heard day & night year around. They must have a great tx site as CBK always has been strong on the Northern Oregon coast.
