CKSB going dark

[Shawndx]

An ad in a local paper today says CKSB will be leaving both 1050 AM and 90.5 FM for 88.1 FM as of January 3 2014. They have been on all three frequencies since the fall but the end is near now. Looks I
like I get a new DX frequency in the new year.

Think you will be listening to one of Wolfman's old homes? XEG is 100,000 watts at night, non-directional.

Hard to tell if you are in North Battleford's null or not. You certainly appear to be in a CHUM null.

[Shawndx]

Yes I agree that XEG will be a frequent visitor as will be North Battleford. Way back when CKSB would sign off at night there were others heard including CHUM. We shall see what happens but it will be my new favourite frequency for a bit.

Some interesting stations to watch for on day pattern, if you can catch them near sunrise or sunset. Daytime 10KW non-directional KMTA in Montana looks especially promising when you null CJNB in North Battleford.
