No doubt that this is my local pest CKMX-1060 Calgary AB.

The bit that you were interested in is

"From Sundre to Southland Drive, your Classic Country AM 1060"

Sundre is a small rural town about 100 km NW of Calgary.

CKMX has a shortwave parallel on 6030, 100 watts CFVP, the only
commercial SW station presently operating in Canada. Apparently
CFRX-6070 will come back if they can get their xmiter operational..

Great catch!
