The original series of Ice Road Truckers took place in the Northwest 
Territories and had a couple snippets of someone doing a weather report 
at CFYK Yellowknife.

KFAR is indeed quite tough these days, thanks to all the other stations 
on the channel.  CFFR is quite potent here, plus KAPS and KTNN are also 
in the mix.  I managed to hear KFAR from Walt's place on Haida Gwaii in 
2007, but it was difficult considering the distance.  I've never heard 
it at Grayland, even though I've heard KCBF-820 KFBX-970 and KJNP-1170 
multiple times.  KFAR's nighttime signal may simply not be what it used 
to be, as I too heard it regularly in the late 60s and early 70s.
