Yes, the NHK s/off made it to Gabriola Island also.including 1089 where it caught me by surprise at 1535UT, as I was trying to figure out what the "other" Chinese station was beyond CNR6 on that channel. (actually, NHK2 has been signing off at 1440UT recently)Interestingly, there were a

Hi, As most know, WFLI, 1070-TN will go silent on March 31st. Apparently, the owner is retiring and the transmitter site is worth more as something else. I have a local on 1070 but I thought I had that one in my logbook. I actually do not. I have asked Scott Fybush if he had any contacts

Hi Todd, As one referred to in your comments, I would defer to Neil on this one. Unless you can ID something about the signal, the music, language, station ID, or other identifiable characteristic it is best to err on the side of caution, and not claim it. Another way would be direction

That is indeed 1584 North Korea. And we still haven't the freaking foggiest idea what exactly they are jamming, though it wouldn't be the first time. The jammer is an older style analogue noise maker (as opposed to 819's digital jammer during their off-air hours, which isn't the norm) and it is

I think one has to take a couple of things into account here. First is that the majority of us on this list ( or any list for that matter ) don't know what DX is like from your location. Second is that some tend to apply their own "DX standards" to everyone else. Therefore there are always
