[IRCA] Sunset and evening DX at Burnt River ON

[Saul DX <sauldx@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Just got up to Burnt River ON this afternoon.

Only sunset catch of note was 1600 KGYM Cedar Rapids IA with very strong signal. ESPN 1600. Relog. Despite its strength, nothing else of note at SSS.

This evening I have black gospel on 1570 quite strong. I'll presume Harvey IL as this comes in often. Also, my old Heaven 1550 unID is actually Avenue 1550, Lake Geneva WI. I heard what I was sure was "Heaven 1550" this evening, but got some local ads, and a second time the slogan aired I caught clearly what it really was. I get this fairly often, actually, and am somewhat surprised I mistook it for something else on a couple occasions over the past few months. It's mixing with CBE Windsor, which as we all know now is still on 1550 even while testing on 97.5. When Robert Ross in London ON, a short distance from Windsor, reported Springfield MO and Lake Geneva WI both dominant and mixing on 1550, that led me to wonder if CBE had finally gone dark. Obviously, it hasn't,  as some of you noted, and is evident tonight.

WSCR 670 Chicago - it's IBOC still seems to be off. I'll be keeping an ear on 670 to see if the station goes off again. It was reported off shortly after its IBOC went missing about a week ago. I have a wire aimed west, waiting.

Have also kept an ear on 1590 on my sw wire, for reported tones from the Mississippi station whose automation seems to have gone awry. I would certainly appreciate any reports should anyone hear tone there - with thanks. Anyhow, it's all WAKR Akron OH thus far.

One new catch from Toronto Saturday afetrnoon. Just befoire 5 pm, 1440 WFNY in Gloversville NY IDed, and gave power as 5,000 watts. I have it logged from BR but needed it in Toronto. Was at the airport waiting for my Nephew to arrive from Calgary. This means that if I log the coming DX test from WFNY in early March it will not be a new logging.
