Goncalves tip, noted all alone on freq but threshold with local music. First time I've heard this. 9819.350 Radio 9 de Julio, Portuguese, tentative, noted as het against 9820 kHz even. Very weak with occasional audio (talk by a man) poking through. [Time?] Jan. 23. (David Sharp-NSW-AUS, dxld Jan 23) CANADA Site Photos Of The CHU Time Station, Ottawa, Canada. Hi, all you Shortwave sites enthusiasts! Living in Western Canada, I was quite surprised that there is not any picture of the transmitter site of the CHU Time Station in Ottawa on the Internet. So I decided to bother my cousin, who lives there, to take some photos of the site. The first takes were taken last fall and appeared to be very blurry. Finally, I got these good ones and I'm happy to share them with the people of our group. In the photo above you can see the 7850(now), 3330 and 14670 kHz masts from the left to the right accordingly. (Lev Lytovchenko, TX SWsites yg via dxld Jan 27) Lev kindly provided the following coordinates of the CHU site in a recent email: "...The exact coordinates of the CHU Time Station are: 45 17 40.8 N 75 45 28.5 W
