Re: [IRCA] CKDO 1580

Congrats (I think!) on receiving CKDO Walt, Patrick, and others. I have to clean my teeth to get rid of it! The station has an interesting "Rabbit's Ears" pattern sitting on the base of L. Ontario as it were, on good swampy land and gets out to both Europe (NE along L. Ontario north shore) and the west Coast (NW) surprisingly well for its 10 kw.

Hi, Pete.  Checking at 06:52, I'm hearing all 3:  KGAL, with a radio play,
the SS station, and CKDO.  Neat to rotate the antenna selector between my N
and W loops, and the ALA 100 oriented towards NE/SW.  N still receives CKDO
