I think they've fired up the 1580 transmitter now (2215 EDT) - there's a big 
fat open carrier on 1580.  Time to bid goodbye to a great DX frequency 
here.  :-(

Oh well, I've milked 1580 pretty well in the last few years - CKDO will be #40 
logged on that channel here.  And there's a silver lining in their 
disappearance from 1350 - I've already logged one newie there tonight, 
WBLT-VA.
