CHU is a time signal radio station operated by the Institute for National Measurement Standards of the National Research Council of Canada.

The signal is broadcast on three frequencies:

• 3330 kHz (3Kw)
• 7850 kHz (10kW)
• 14670 kHz (3 kW)

The station was started in 1923 by the Dominion Observatory in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, with a call sign of 9CC on an experimental basis until 1928.  In 1938, the call was changed to CHU.

Below is a short video of my recent reception of CHU on 14670 kHz. and an earlier video from 2022 of my reception of CHU on 7850 kHz.

At about 0641 UTC on the 20th day of September 2023, I tuned in to the Voice of Tukey, broadcasting in the Hausa language on 15320 kHz.

The broadcast was coming from the 500kW Emirler transmitter site in Turkey.

The overall reception of the Voice of Turkey was good. There was a squealing type of noise on the frequency. I am not sure if this was some form of deliberate interference?
