Could someone solve this mystery:
The KONG5 DX-pedition was held in Arctic Norway Oct
12-17.
During an opening towards Alberta during their
sunset on Oct 13, we noticed a CBC signal on 1150 khz. It ran in // with
CFYK-1340, in an Inuit language. Hence, there is no doubt that it is a CBC
North relay station. The Big Q is: Which? Some years ago, the
NRC Log listed a 40w relay here, but it is not listed in the current Log.
Staff at CFYK confirms that they do not have any relays on 1150, but suggests
that it might be a community-owned rebroadcaster. Perhaps the CRTC is the
best source for information (if the station is licenced), but if someone on this
list (like our Canadian friends) have any info, please submit.
The station, if still on air, should be within
reach for DX-peds going to Mertajärvi and Lemmenjoki, especially now with CKX
off the air.
