Re: 640 AM Frequency

[dan.strassberg@att.net]

There's a 50 kW-U AM 640 in Toronto with TX on the south 
shore of Lake Ontario and a highly directional signal to 
the north (eight or nine towers, I think) and there's a 
10 kW-U NONDIRECTIONAL AM 640 in Newfoundland. (When the 
NF station moved to 640--probably in 1941, NF had not 
yet become part of Canada. Newfoundland is more than 
4000 miles from LA. So at the time, KFI was the only 
station in the US or Canada on 640 between Los Angeles 
sunset and local sunrise in Norman OK.)

I don't know the format of the NF station, but I think 
the Toronto station has a talk format. The calls used to 
be CHOG, but I think they've changed. I think Adam was 
trying to identify a station he heard doing talk on 640 
when WNNZ was off. I suppose that Adam _might_ have 
heard KFI. Before all of the other stations were built 
on 640, KFI was an occasional DX catch here in the east, 
but now it must be _very_ rare.
