["Joe Talbot" <n52w113@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

 Hello To The HCDX Group: I regards to the Arnstein Bue posting of the 
mystery station operating on 1150 khz operating in // 1340 kHz. You 
mentioned the dates October 12-17 2001, I am sure you meant 2000. I have 
spoken with an Engineering staff at CFYK in Yellowknife. 1340 kHz is CFYK, a 
CBC (Canadian Government network) station in Yellowknife, Northwest 
Territory (NWT). He told me that the CBC does not operate a station on 1150 
kHz, from the NWT. So this station on 1150 kHz is not a CBC station.
 CFYK broadcasts 24 hrs a day, local programming is as follows, (Times MST 
Local=GMT-6hrs): 6am-9am English
                    12pm-1pm English
                    1pm-2pm Dog Rib (Native Language)
                    2pm-3pm Slavey (Native Language)
                    3pm-4pm Chipewyan (Native Language)
                    An Inuktityt language broadcast may be heard
                    following the "Over Night" program which is a BBC,
                    Radio Australia, RCI, feed, 4am-6am.
                    Any ID would be in English, no local language
                    translation.
                    The remaining programming is CBC
                    (National and/or Regional).
                    Address: CFYK
                             PO Box 160
                             Yellowknife, NWT
                             Canada
                             X1A-2N2

 The mystery station on 1150 kHz is listed a 1997 NRC AM Log as CBQD as 
well as other low powered AM stations.
 A network of CORBS (Community Owned Re-Broadcast Stations) operate in the 
NWT, most in the Easterner Artic, CBQD was from Fort Resolution, which is 
south of Yellowknife NWT, population 585. CBQD once relayed CFYK.
 Now the mystery of this mystery station, becomes more mysterious. In my 
search I contacted the former owner/announcer Barry Sanderson of CBQD in 
Fort Resolution. Barry was shocked and confused by my inquire of the station 
operating on 1150 kHz, CBQD. He tells me that CBDQ, has been off the air 
several years now. He thought I was playing a joke on him. Barry tells me 
that the station equipment is still in place and "has not been used since 
the closing". Barry confirms CBDQ was 40 watts. Only perhaps, this station 
operating on 1150 kHz is unlicensed. The "only" station operating from Fort 
Resolution is FM, 105.1.
 This information confirmed by several sources. Including the Akaitcho 
Territory Government offices in Fort Resolution.
 As the NRC AM Log states correctly, there are other low powered Canadian 
AM stations operating on 1150 kHz, but why the CFYK relay, as Arnstein 
reports.
 There are indications of a "Community Aero Drome Radio Station" in Fort 
Resolution. I have not been able to reach them by telephone, but will keep 
trying. So now the question, who is operating on 1150 kHz relaying CFYK 1340 
Yellowknife NWT? Nice catch guys! 73's. Joe Talbot Red Deer Alberta Canada.
