Noticed you had 600 as vacant. Has the plug been finally pulled on CKBD? I was in both Seattle and Vancouver last month and believe they were still on a.m. I definitely recall that 650 CISL had essentially flipped to the old CKBD pop standards format.
 
CKBD pulled the plug right around midnight on December 31. I read a message board for western Canadian radio and it was announced there. Aparently Vancouverites are having a ball DXing for the first time on 600 in many years. CJWW Saskato0n seems to come in really well there.
 
I will try for both CJWW Saskatoon and KOGO San Diego tonight.
