[IRCA] CBC applies to CRTC to move CBXP-1240 Tahsis BC to FM

[Deane McIntyre <dmcintyr@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

The CBC has applied to the CRTC to move its 40 watt low power relay  
station CBXP-1240
Tahsis BC to FM (90.5 MHz, 46.5 watts, -209 meters.

CBXP is a relay of the CBC Radio One station in Victoria BC, CBCV-FM

Tahsis is a village of 366 people (per the 2006 census) on the west  
coast of Vancouver Island,
more or less across the island from Campbell River.

Does anyone actually have this station in their log?

Tahsis, British Columbia
Application No. 2009-1260-2

Application by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) to amend  
the broadcasting
licence for the radio programming undertaking CBCV-FM Victoria,  
British-Columbia.

The licensee proposes to add an FM transmitter at Tahsis, British  
Columbia to replace
 its AM transmiter.

The transmitter would operate on frequency 90.5 MHz (channel 213LP)  
with an effective
 radiated power of 46.5 watts (non-directional antenna with an  
effective height of
antenna above average terrain of -209.0 metres).

The licensee stated that this change was necessary because it had  
been advised, by the
new landlord of the AM site, that the present lease would not be  
renewed. The CBC decided
to replace its AM transmitter with a new low-power FM transmitter to  
maintain its present
 Radio One coverage to the Tahsis village. The AM licence will be  
revoked as soon as
this change is approved.

73,
