As Frank, W3LPL, kindly pointed out, I had the A index wrong. I use LOG4OM and apparently the information it shows for A, K, etc are not up to date. The information Frank provided makes last night make better sense.  Thanks Frank! Ron N4XD Sent using https://www.zoho.com/mail/ _

Hello 160 ops, I tried a telephone call to all the numbers for CKTB, but there is no way to leave a messagee unless you know the name of someone there on the directory list. There is no receptionist to answer the phone during the day. I left my second e mail with contact information, but have

That is good. I will see what happens when I call them. I suspect they will do nothing as there is probably no engineer on staff. A  VE3 ham told me that this station is notorious in that area! Thanks again Dave K1WHS On 3/26/2020 2:39 AM, Don Kirk wrote: Hi Dave, I’m copying phone station

Hi Dave, I’m copying phone station again on 1830.0 KHz and tonight the audio is good copy (not distorted tonight). Station advertisements are Canadian and they did say they are on 610. Time once again is 10:30 EDT 0230 UTC, and I once again recorded it. Don (wd8dsb) On Mon, Mar 23, 2020 at 10:

Hi Dave, I’m hearing bursts of distorted audio right now on 1830.0 KHZ (it comes and goes). Bursts peak about 10db over my noise floor. I’m hearing it on my pennant pointing 40 degrees from near Indianapolis (02:30UTC). Don On Sat, Mar 21, 2020 at 6:43 PM David Olean wrote: > I turned on my

I turned on my 160 meter radio around 0100 UT on the 21st, and was greeted by a huge level of noise on 1830. It wasn't too long before I realized that I was listening to an AM BC station. Audio was distorted, but I could copy the ads and they all referred to Buffalo and St. Catherines, Canada.
