I called over to the station this morning asking about their last hours.  I was told by someone there, who was absolutely certain, that the station would have a special program during the last hour between 5 and 6 pm and then sign-off.  There will be no other station taking over 600 AM, at least for now.  The frequency reverts to the CRTC.  I asked whether there'd be any chance of inserting some CW, but the response was negative.  Note the time differs from that reported by Bill Kral, so one would be wise to listen from before 5:00 pm on the Pacific coast, and through to 7 pm just to be safe.  I also called 1490 in Campbell River to ask when they'd be leaving the air....they haven't responded as yet, but I'll try again.  I was hoping with enough warning, perhaps they would be able to insert some DX friendly content before going off the air! .......Walt.
