[BC] 500 kHz and distress signals.

[JYRussell@academicplanet.com]

Yeah, but that big station on the coast that's been shut down for since the
late 1990's is having it's one hundred year anniversary - tonight? - the
12th and will be on the air one last time for several hours... darn, I can't
remember the calls but I *think* I found it while fiddlin' around with the
links off Jim Hawkin's site... (the big huge station with the giantific
clock, with the red sections for worldwide silence, and such...)
