Is there still a voice longwave station in Cleveland, Ohio?
 

about 20 years ago, there used to be a longwave radio station in
Cleveland, Ohio (beacon) that also had weather announcements in regular
AM voice.

I forget the frequency. I think it was somewhere between 300 and 400
khz (maybe 344 khz?)

well, whatever frequency it was or is, is this station still on the
air, and if so, does it still transmit weather announcements in regular
AM voice?

Now, I have to get back to Lake Erie. ;)

Coming in faintly here. Morse only, so far
The code doesn't match what is shown above.

It's more like:

-.-- -.-- ------------ very long single dash

Not 100 percent sure though. there is some code in the background, very
faint which I can't make out.

I'm very much aware of where Canada is, and Calgary's place in it.

I have a QSL from CFVP on 6030.

I'm afraid you might have me confused with Michael W. Bryant, he's the one who
can't tell Malaysia from Indonesia, or his ass from a hole in the ground for
that matter.

A yes, the Voice of the Prairies. It rebroadcasts CKMX (1060 Khz) That
used to be CFCN a few years back.

Does Michael W Bryant send out QSL cards?
