MW DX with 200 metre Beverage: CKAC 730 kHz Montreal, Quebec, heard in Oxford, UK
Only the second time I'd copied CKAC, the first being an hour earlier on the same morning. Again, tricky to hear well because of adjacent QRM, but the Elad mostly deals with it very well in USB. Recorded on 10/10/16 at 02:57 hrs UTC using an ELAD FDM DUO. Thanks for watching.

Medium wave DX: 1310 kHz - is this CIWW 1310 News, Ottawa, Ontario?
Hi there, this is presumed because no clear ID can be heard. Intially I thought this signal might be WLOB, but then I thought probably not and this was confirmed by Matthias as there is no mention of Fox News or their usual fanfare. With a TX power of 50 kW, CIWW is another likely candidate. If anyone can shed further light on this catch, I'd be very grateful. Recorded in Oxford UK, on 07/01/17 at 07:59 hrs using an Elad FDM DUO and Wellbrook loop (indoors). Thanks for watching.
