Unless there is another CBC Radio 2 on 106.9 this is CBN St. John's Newfoundland on double hop E skip. 100kw 2141 miles.

Luckily it was near the top of the hour!! The signal was strong and in for about 4 minutes.

Incredible E skip on May 28. FM was open to NY,MA,CT,NH,PA,ME,ON,QC,MI,OH,VA,WI,IA,SD,TX,NM,Ch ihuahua, Mexico, and Guatemala likely Colorado when Jim T. had my area, and others, also tropo to the Florida Keys and Cuba with a few new ones down that way. 2 new states (NH,AZ) and Newfoundland if this is indeed CBN.
This was one day for the history books!

There's also an R2 outlet on 106.9 now in Huntsville, Ontario - recently
moved from 104.7.

The only way to easily tell Huntsville from St. John's would have been
the regional weather forecast and local ID that should have followed the
news a few minutes past TOH.

A fantastic catch, either way!
