Colin:

Thanks for the post.

A short wave broadcast from the CBC IS (later RCI) station at Sackville was the very first I heard.  It was a late Sunday afternoon in winter and I was listening on an old receiver found in the upstairs of my grandmotherâs house.  The broadcast contained a mailbag program hosted by Earle Fisher, and the frequency was 11.72 Mc/s.  Surprising what I still remember!   I became a regular listener of the service until the end.

Interestingly, while I was stationed in England a few years later, I heard my first trans-Atlantic medium wave DX from CBA-1070, Sackville. 

The QSL cards from those two broadcasts are among my most treasured. 

Richard Allen.
