[IRCA] 960 CFFX and others going off in Ontario

[saulamdx <saulamdx@xxxxxxxxx>]

I'll give this a listen when I'm at my Burnt River ON
DX site this weekend, and see if I can glean calls.
I'll be trying for the Minnesota station that Jim and
Barry have reported (I've already logged Iowa earlier
this season). But I thought I saw CFFX reported off.
For those looking for new channels to work up this
way, CKPT 1420 should be going off very soon
(Cleveland will be a real pain), CHUC 1450 is due to
sign off Nov 7 at 5 pm (another sleepy graveyard to
sit on), and 98.9 in Kingston ON is reportedly on-air
testing will replace 1380 fairly soon (CKPC is my
worst pest and this will really open up what is
otherwise a very useful channel). Perhaps some of you
in NY State, across the lake from Kingston, can get
the 98.9. I hear there is a pattern null towards me to
protect 98.7 in Peterborough. Anyhow, there are a few
on 960 I would like to hear. Including Calgary, which
I've heard years back in Toronto but only once,
tentatively, at Burnt River. WFIR Roanoke VA does
blast in here at times, but they can be nulled easily
enough if conditions are good. WHAK Michigan and the
station in Shawano WI are often heard, as well, as is
WSBT in South Bend IN.
