Re: [IRCA] CFCW 790 Camrose, Alberta, Canada Moving on August 1st

[Don Moman VE6JY <ve6jy.1@xxxxxxxxx>]

Yes, interesting and certainly not a smooth transition. All recorded
spectrally by the Perseus. Mainly an audio feedback issue somewhere, they
dropped the carrier several times during which the Washington station was
just audible, but we are still an hour or so away from sunset at the 8:40pm
MDT switchover. Anyway seems to be working well enough past 9pm.  They had
been on reduced power on 790 during the construction and their signal
measured -52 dbm before the switch and -42 dbm after the switch.  That
equates to a 1:10  ratio such as 5 kw vs 50 kw.  I am about 90 km north
(actually 5 deg) of the transmitter site while Chris is roughly the same
distance but at 330 deg.  At the time of switch they were the 5th strongest
signal here after 630 740 880 and 930.  A very tight spectrum roughly +- 8
khz with no splatter (not like 880!).
