CBC RADIO 1 in Wisconsin

S

superkiddo7

I live in Southern Wisconsin, and lately (well actually for the last 4 months) I have been able to recieve CBC radio 1 clear as a bell late at night when my local NPR station powers down to it's night authorization at about 51 watts. The station operates at a different frequency than the CBC station, but I'm using an analogue reciever (no digital readout - I have to twist the knob), so I know it's not that far off from 970 AM.

But I can't figure out which CBC station this is? CBC only ID's at midnight - if then? Any clues?
I'm thinking it might be from southern ontario, thunder bay or a relay thereabouts, but I can't be sure.

It pushes most of its juice into Manitoba, but at 50,000 watts, they're sending enough your way to get at night.

Unless they have changed very recently, CBW is non-directional. Another of the few remaining CBC AMs is CBK, 50 kw at 540 in Sask.

CBW-990 goes down to 46 kw at night. Station reduced its night power when it moved its transmitter site in the early 90's.
