The review determined that the removal of the VOLMET service will not have a material impact on stakeholders and would not be a material change to the services provided by NAV CANADA to the aircraft transiting the Gander Oceanic Control Area (OCA). Aviation technology has evolved to allow suitably equipped aircraft to acquire the required meteorological information directly from alternate sources. This has alleviated the need for pilots to monitor a scheduled VOLMET broadcast on a high frequency (HF) radio. Aircraft not equipped to receive meteorological information via alternate means may continue to request necessary weather updates from Gander IFSS via the North Atlantic (NAT) family of HF frequencies. This change will take effect on 12 June 2025 at 0901Z Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). The appropriate aeronautical publications will be amended. For further information please contact: NAV CANADA Customer and Stakeholder Services 151 Slater Street Ottawa, ON K1P 5H3 Phone: 1-800-876-4693 Email: service@navcanada.ca`` They used to be shared with New York VOLMET, and 3485 with many other airports` 2-way.

Propagation? 9395 WRMI is S9. 9330 also inaudible circa 1525. Off? Back at 0616, other sigs on 31m: 9410, 9610 DRM, 9665, 9955, 9960. At 2216 May 3, 9330 is definitely off, zero signal direct. Ditto at 0016 May 4 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 9330, May 4 at 0621, WBCQ/WLCR still off, while e.g. 9395 WRMI is S9+30. What`s wrong? Was also missing May 3. Still off at 1441 May 4 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 9330, May 5 at 0342, WLC Radio on WBCQ is finally on, S9+50 in English, after missing a couple days whenever sought (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 9930, Sat May 3 at 2216, WTWW is off, no TOMBS, despite having been on earlier than usual at 1520 check, maybe due to Sabbath? But on 9980 WWCR so 9930 hardly necessary. By 2318, 9930 is back on; still no 9475 when WOR was scheduled months ago (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 9930, May 4 at 1440, WTWW already on with TOMBS, S9+50 with +/- 12.9 kHz parasitic spurs (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 5932.9, May 5 at 0348, spur from 5920 WTWW, barely detectable in sideband of 5935 WWCR, but the match on minus side of 5920, approx. 5907.185 is obvious. Same situation as heard elsewhen parasiting 5085, 9930. Furthermore there is splatter matching mod peaks of TOMBS on 5920, NOT 5890 WWCR unsynchronized TOMBS, splatter peaking around 5980 but audible up to 6020, and as close to 5890 as 5895 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 9930, May 5 at 1514, open carrier at S9+30 cutting off and on past 1516. By 1535 constant music of traditional hymns, and NOT // 9980 TOMBS on WWCR, and 1541 ID as ``5085, Ancient Word Radio on WTWW``. Bob Biermann is very confused about frequencies; or rather WTWW is testing with canned IDs, frequently between hymns as 9475 & 5085, especially at hourtops 1559 & 1659. 1700 into `Truth2Ponder`. So is WTWW`s one funxional transmitter now dedicated to Biermann instead of Stair? But at 1706 recheck 9930 is back to TOMBS, while 9980 WWCR has gone off. Yes, 9930 now // not synchronized TOMBS on 9395 WRMI (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 9930, May 5 at 2215, WTWW is S9+50 with TOMBS, and this time no spurs plus/minus 12.9 kHz, other transmitter? Then I find 9475 *also* on with S9+50 of dead air with spur such as 9487.9, but off at 2216*. Circa 2245 George McClintock informs me that a visiting consultant has got the 9475/5085 transmitter on the air, so it`s expected to be running both from now on, 9930/5920 with TOMBS and 9475/5085 with Ancient Word Radio, including WORLD OF RADIO UT Saturday 0300. The cost for getting tubes rebuilt has almost tripled. However, at 2339 recheck neither 9475 nor 5085 is on.

Contrary to yesterday`s expectations, other transmitter still missing from 9475 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 9930, May 7 at 1506, TOMBS on WTWW, VG signal but no spurs or splatter. George McClintock just informed me that both transmitters are working, this one on 5920 at night, and the other one on 5085 at night, altho 9475 in daytime is still off. 9930 at 2216 check May 7, S9+60! direct but no spurs or splatter this time, TOMBS // not synch with 9980 WWCR. 9475 is still not on.
