[IRCA] Great E-W cx early this a.m.

["Brent Taylor" <btaylor@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

While tuning the dial this morning just before 6 a.m. local time I checked
WFAN 660 to get the 20/20 sports scores at 4:40 (EDT), and heard an all-news
station with male anchor waaaay in the background.  I spun the radio to
knock down WFAN a bit and the reception of the other station improved.  At
4:45 the station was going through sports scores also, and at 4:50 it faded
up to a clear "traffic and weather together on the ones" and gave a
forecast, with a temperature check mentioning Calgary.

Never heard the CFFR ID, but I have little doubt.

Gear was a barefoot ICF-2010, on a turntable.  There was yet another station
playing music in the background, that eventually faded up to be as strong as
the all-news station.  Never IDed it, but the format appeared to be C&W.

Also noted Chicago better than usual on 670 (usually dominated nightly by
Cuba here).

If Calgary, it was my best domestic DX from this temporary location in
Charlottetown so far.  I move into the new house across the river in
Stratford on March 30, and I'm anxious to see if it's as electrically quiet
at night as it is here in downtown Charlottetown.
