[IRCA] CKSL 1410 London, ONTARIO Update……..

[Robert Ross <va3sw@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Well…it's Adios Amoeba for CKSL……..They are no more!!

Last night about 2330 EDT I fired up the Sony SRF-T615 Ultralight and tuned in to 1410 to hear their spectacular Sign-off!!

They were playing the Comedy Feed with no LIVE Talk at all. I figured just before Midnight someone would come on the air and say something like…"Thank You London fort tuning into CKSL for the past 60 years…..we're sorry we have to leave the air and hope you have enjoyed listening to us over the Years".

Instead the sign-off was……….

"Live Comedy Skits up to Midnight…then precisely at Midnight somebody pulled the Power Cord and they were Gone!! No Carrier…No Goodbye, No Nothin'"!!!! 

Pretty sad exit for a 60 year Old Station…….I'm 60 too….and I hope I go out with a Bigger Bang than that when it's time!! HHAHAHHAHA.

Anyways….once the power Cord was yanked..I noticed that there actually was life UNDER CKSL!!! 

I logged 1 NEW STN on 1410 Khz before cashing in for the night. I'll do some more listening and see what I can dig out. I don't have the Wellbrook Loop back out on the deck yet…and probably won't hook it back up til I get home from Alaska around the 11th of Sept……

I heard several stations on 1400 Khz as well…so I should be able to dig a few out of that, especially with the ULR as I have heard exactly ZERO Stations on 1400 with the ULR.  We'll see what I can find when I'm not so tired, and can also check Sunset/Sunrise times…..even Daytime might yield something??
