1000 0300 USA KOMO Seattle WA. ABC News on the hour on WMVP fade. Has to be KOMO.
Rolling news format. 7591 km
1470 0300 CAN CJVB Vancouver BC. You're listening to Fairchild Radio, Vancouver's
multicultural station. Three pips and YL ID in Chinese 7453 km
After checking conditions at 0500 and 0600 I had almost decided to scrub
any earlier top-of-the-hour recordings. 0400 wasn't much better but
there were promising signs. I assumed 0300 would be too early for
anything out of the ordinary, but how wrong I was, for CJVB's ID was
audible with reasonable clarity on 1470 at this time!
Here's a recording of CJVB:

KOMO comes in like this. Note the ABC News jingle:

ABC News on 1000 is undoubtedly KOMO, but there were several other
interesting stations which did not peak on the hour. A second talk
station on 1130 appeared after 0230 but faded out by 0300. I understand
KTCN was reported elsewhere in the UK this morning so maybe it was that.
I was also quite interested in the ID on 930, also at 0300: "One Word,
One Station" was all I could make out, but I was wondering if this ID
pointed to CJCA. It probably wouldn't be CJYQ as their top of the hour
is our half past the hour. CFBC were dominant with their country format.
The northerly path is opening up!
Good DX!
