Re: [IRCA] Another Alaskan

[Nigel Pimblett <nige2730@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Chris,
   After years of hearing virtually no Alaskans, they became rather 
more common at the bottom of the solar cycle in 2007-2009.    I've 
logged 18, pretty much all in that time period.  Since then they've 
reverted to being pretty uncommon.   I think KINY is the only one I've 
heard this season.   The only NWT station I logged was 1340 from 
Yellowknife, since gone to FM as others have noted.      I never heard 
570 from the Yukon, and CKYL pretty much makes 610 impossible, but I did 
hear the CBC repeater on 990 from Watson Lake.  That might be the best 
bet from the Edmonton area (a directional antenna to eliminate CBW would 
be a big help!)

73,

Nigel
