Re: [IRCA] CKKW-1090 Kitchener ON applies to move to FM (99.5 , 2.2 kW)

["Saul Chernos" <sauldx@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

uh, yeah, forgot about that. I haven't even thought about AM for a month 
now, getting ready for FM-TV season. I guess IBOC 1080 would just about put 
the wipe on 1090 a lot of the tme, as it does on 1070. Anyhow, FWIW I have 
removed one of two longwires that cross neighbouring properties. The other 
comes out tomorrow. The three easterlies are also now tucked away deep in 
the woods so no one finds them (oh the price of copper...). I'll be back at 
AM in September. (I will take my Prison Radio ULR with me in June when I'm 
travelling on holidays and give some transoceanics a shot).
