Yes, CKDO are running day power as of 2300 EDT, but I haven't heard any 
testing on 1580, not even an open carrier.  If the move to 1580 was 
imminent, wouldn't there be some kind of testing with music, tones or 
carrier, as well as mentions of the upcoming frequency switch on the air and 
on their web site?

I listened to Boots Day, John Boccabella, Ron Hunt, Mike Jorgensen, Hal 
Breeden, Tim Foli, Steve Rogers and other early-1970s Expos on CKLB-1350, a 
few years before the Blue Jays joined the AL. (and did you know that Ron 
Fairly played for both the 1969 Expos and 1977 Blue Jays.. one of the only 
players to play for two first-year expansion teams!)
