Re: [IRCA] CBEF-540 Windsor ON

["Joe Miller, KJ8O" <ab8yp@xxxxxxxxx>]

Thank you Deane,

I didn't have my notes in front of me as I typed that
message, but you presume correctly. I am about 25
miles from the Detroit Windsor border, and can't
always hear Windsor's low power FM stations from that
well. My work is within a mile or two of the border
and is heard much easier.

The programming is different than CBEF, and I did not
think there were any such plans. From where I sit
though, just once for one night, I'd like to see thenm
go silent to give me a chance to pull something else
in, but I guess I'll just have to be patient.

Thank you for your answer.
