[IRCA] DX Update From Northern Delaware: CKWX

[Peter Jernakoff <Peter.Jernakoff@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

DX update from northern Delaware:

   It looks like CKWX paid a visit to northern Delaware during WBBR’s
   downtime early this morning (Sunday, 27-Aug-06). More specifically:

   At 0205 local, a female was heard reporting the return to Canadian soil
   of a Canadian soldier killed by a suicide bomber (presumably in
   Afghanistan). Mention was made of Ontario.

   At 0230 local, this same female was heard giving the weather report with
   mentions of Calgary and Toronto. This was followed by what sounded like
   "News 1130 time, 11:30". Note that this time is 3 hours behind (PST)
   when the recording was obtained.

   At 0231 local, the same female was again heard to give the time, viz
   "...1130 time, 11:31". Followed by Rogers Wireless traffic and weather.

   And finally, at 0328 local, yep- you guessed it - that same female again
   gave the time "News 1130 time..." (the time was lost in noise).

   Putting all of the above together, it sure sounds to me like I managed
   to snag CKWX which would be a 2384 mile catch. The 'News 1130' slogans
   match that given for this station in the current NRC AM Radio Log..

   Unless anyone objects after listening to the above clips, I’m going to
   log this one as a definite!! Congratulations to all the others who
   managed to get this one this morning.
