7335 was occupied 24/7 by RFPI in the late 90s before University For
Peace canned them. I wasn't aware that WRNO was still on the air as
late as 2005. I thought they had disappeared years before that.


Really? Where was this station located? How could this persist for
any length of time on top of CHU in view of international agreements
and treaties?

The frequency is wrong, RFPI was somewhat higher in freqency (actually
I seem to recall there may have been a number of frequencies somewhat
above the 40metre ham band, since I think they used different
frequencies for SSB and AM).

The transmitter was down in Costa Rica.

Of course, there was talk earlier this year that CHU would have
to move or even shut down (if the cost of a frequency move was
too prohibitive) since it uses a frequency allocated to shortwave
broadcast, while time stations are classified as something else.
I can't remember how that was resolved.
