Due to the shutdown of the Absolute Radio transmitters in Great Britain, the frequency range around 1200-1250 kHz became much quieter in Central Europe. This gave me the opportunity to listen to the CBC North transmitter in Iqaluit (formerly Frobisher Bay), the capital of the Territory of Nunavut, here in Salzburg. CFFB transmits with only 1 kW on medium wave 1230 kHz and could be heard short time in Salzburg last week around 22 UT. The station technician has now confirmed the rare reception, so the territory of Nunavut is also “in the box”.
