[IRCA] 1150 CJRC and note to station database people

["Saul Chernos" <sauldx@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

CJRC 1150 Gatineau QC has CRTC permission to extend its operaton until March 
16, 2009, in order to continue to resolve signal difficulties. The station 
is looking to relocate the transmitter of its new FR frequency of 104.7 and 
raise power in order to reach an area comparable to the 1150 signal. The 
figure they can buy the peoprty and go through the process in a year. A new 
facility would of course require CRTC and Industry Canada approval. So 
French heard in 1150  for the next year is most likely CJRC for DXers 
anywhere west of the station. It packs a good signal, whereas I've yet to 
see Gaspe logged by anyone, anywhere in this direction. (I would stand 
corrected if anyone has heard a definitive ID).

Item #20.

I might add this decision is part of a new streamlining procedure the CRTC 
has implemented for relatively minor applications. Thos of you tracking 
station changes need to look carefully for decisions like this. The 
applications under the streamlining procedure are not gazetted in advance. 
You find out when the decision is made. Like I said, these are considered 
MINOR matters, but can involve minor increases in power.
