Was able to hear the very last pip out of CHU Canada, on 7850 kHz. A weaker signal was heard on 14670 kHz, and 3330 kHz was inaudible due to noise. No fanfare, just the usual English then French announcement, the minute tone and... just one pip past that at 14:10:01 UTC (10:10:01 AM EDT). After the carrier dropped, a pirate station appeared almost immediately on the same frequency, playing the Looney Tunes "That's all, folks!" and DickBulger.com audio over WWV time pips. Recorded in USB.
