Default Shortwave Time Signals - Where have they gone?

Yes, CHU is now on 7850 kc. They are the only organization that seems to
have cared enough of what their listeners preferences were. They were
going to drop their 41 meter facility altogether but conducted an e-mail
survey and listened to what the users wanted. They did have to move due
to ITU frequency reallocation nonsense.



=============================================
CQ Magazine is reporting the following:

CHU Moving to 7850 kHz

After seventy years of broadcasting Canada's official time, radio
station CHU will move from 7335 KHz to 7850 KHz. The change goes
into effect on 01 January 2009 at 00:00 UTC.

In April 2007, the International Telecommunications Union
re-allocated the 7300-7350 KHz band from "fixed service" to
broadcasting. Since then, interference on the 7335 KHz frequency has
come from many broadcasters around the world, prompting CHU's move.
