[IRCA] Western Canada [was: 747 Japan log]

[midcapemarc@xxxxxxxxxxx (Marc DeLorenzo)]

Mark,

CHRB-1140 Alberta frequently heard here after local midnight, often times over WRVA & CBI.  They rarely (if ever) give a call letter ID but do use slogans like "Southern Alberta's Community Leader, AM-1140."  CKWX-1130 Vancouver, BC was also heard here in August 2006 at 014 EDT with slogan "News1130.com, Vancouver's all news radio."  However, WBBR-1130 NYC was off the for transmitter maintenance at the time.  Have tried for Vancouver-690 many times with no luck - even when Montreal was silent for a year  or so a while back.  Also heard CFAC-960 Calgary a few years back on top of the channel after midnight.  They should be alot easier now that Halifax, NS and Kingston, ON have vacated 960.  CFAC has a sports talk format with ESPN and slogan "The Fan."  Good luck.
