[IRCA] Applications by CFLN-1230 Goose Bay NF and CFLW-1340 Wabush NF to move to FM approved by CRTC

[Deane McIntyre <dmcintyr@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

The application of CFLN-1230 Goose Bay NF to move to FM (97.9 MHz,  
1kW, 25.4 meters) to
move to FM has been approved by the CRTC. Its relay station in Wabush  
NF, CFLW-1340,
is also moving to FM (94.7 MHz, 1kW, -26.4 meters).

Note what while CFLN operates at the now usual 1kW graveyarder level,  
CFLW still
operates at 250 watts, one of the few graveyarders to still do so.
