Re: [IRCA] CKMO 900 0835 utc

The CW ID seems to be at the end of a canned verbal ID by a man mentioning call letters, Camosun College and ending with "we are Village 900" The CW pitch seems to be a few Hertz below 700Hz for those who might want to try some filtering on an otherwise blocked channel. I've heard the ID on the hour as well (not before BBC news?) as well as after the news, but it seems to be popping up at other times also. Oh yes, the CW ID is pretty swift also, at least to my aged ears, and goes on for over 10 seconds.
Good luck with catching this. It's effectively a several day long DX test, with no hope of a repeat, so best to log them now. 

best wishes,

Nick

Dennis (and the group):  yes, they did not sign-off at midnight last night,
so it will be tonight.  I tuned them in again just after 7:00 AM (15:00
UTC).  After the BBCWS news came the longer CW ID again, followed by a 23
minute history of CKMO.  Haven't heard this one until now.  CKMO started as
a closed circuit system at Camosun College.  After a couple of years, they
received a FM frequency (103.1) and later traded with a commercial operator
for 900 AM.  The callsign originated way back to 1928 (no relation to the
college then, of course).  From midnight, the only way to listen to Village
900 will be on villagenow.net.  At 7:29, the short CW ID was repeated (and
once again at about 7:50 AM).  The expected (and announced) BBCWS news
didn't happen at 08:00.  Instead, there's a program about Killer whales
(Orcas).  Probably an old program.  73,    Walt Salmaniw, Victoria.
