This post is the conclusion of a series of posts I started doing last year. I had mentioned I could hear CHWO in Toronto here in Indiana and how the Ontario DX Association was doing QSL's for the station. I have to agree with them. The station is carrying as well as a shortwave station or pretty darn close. That's good for me since I like their programming and it is rather nice to hear them at home and on vacation.The top picture is that of the QSL for the station done by ODXA. The second is a thank you from the station for participation in the QSL challenge. The side bar picture is of the bookmarks they sent along. In addition they sent along a nice history of the station. Some of the informations in this history is that the station started out on 1250 KHZ and was the power was 1,000/500 in 1956. In 1979 the power was increased to 10,000/5,000 and finally in 2001 it changed over to 740 KHZ and increased to 50,000. Sure comes in nice when you live away from the station.
If you want to know more about the station or where to get a QSL of the station, check out the following websites.
