Re: [IRCA] FM rebroadcastors approved for both CBE-1550 and CBEF-540 Windsor ON

Thanks Deane,

Having lived on the Detroit side of the Detroit-Windsor border for the last 
29 years, and seeing the trend of Canadian MW stations going to FM, I've 
often wondered when this announcement was going to be made.

I've lost count, but I would say probably 7-8 new FM stations have started 
up on the Canadian side in just the last two years. I have to review my log 
sheet for details, but I can think of at least one high power FM station 
within 50-60 miles of Windsor.

Then with Detroit and Windsor nestled so closely to the Great Lakes, 
tropospheric ducting occurs somewhat frequently during the spring and summer 
months, sometimes to the point where the distant station will overpower the 
local station.

It will be interesting to see how this will work.
