Here's apparently a full day of broadcast of radio station CHU, which shut down on Monday. www.youtube.com/watch?v=rXxyvUFsP8Y

@jaybird110127 I should have thought of doing this. I live even closer to the transmitter. And am sort of glad it’s gone lol.my cheap equipment sometimes struggled on the shortwave bands with how powerful the signal was.

@fastfinge LOL! I bet they'd have some reason not to let you have them.

@jaybird110127 They’re made by the government. So legally they’re in the public domain. I could file a freedom of information request. Or whatever we call it in Canada.

@fastfinge LOL you should. Course they'd probably find some justification for refusing. "Nah, man, we can't have anyone pretending to be CHU, so we fed those recordings to an assembler seconds after the shutdown at 14​:10:​01 UTC."

@jaybird110127 It amuses me you think they’re that organized. They’re probably in some random employees basement.

@fastfinge Well, I mean, the timecode generator (that's the WWV term) or whatever machine they were using to generate the signal had to have a copy of the recordings, so unless they've already thrown that away they should be able to fire it up with output going to a Zoom H5 Studio. Not that they'd actually do that just for one guy, but they probably could.

@jaybird110127 They also shut down our weather radio. So we need recordings of that, too.
