Hi Walt - Heard CKZU tonight (Aug 28 UT). Good signal and audio. Ron
** CANADA. 6159.98, CKZU â Vancouver, 0517-0617, August 28.
Mostly fair to good, with summertime QRN (static); 0559 with "This
is CBC Radio One, 88.1 FM and 690 AM, Vancouver"; news and
"BC weather" (mentioned ". . . with the exception of Fort Nelson . .");
into "By Design"; somewhat surprised by the strong signal. Audio at

I'm thinking that CKZU has been off the air for at least a week. At
first, I thought that propagation was so bad that I didn't hear them, but
as the days go by, still nothing. Normally during the day, I get them
very strong via ground wave. Nothing again for a while. Tonight at
03:57, for example, I'm measuring a carrier on 6159.976. Barely there,
and not strong enough to hear any audio. I suspect this is CKZN. I
know that Colin Newell wondered the same a few weeks back, but I was sure
I was still hearing them then. Any ideas? Walt Salmaniw, Victoria, BC
