Re: [IRCA] Lower Mainland BC signals ( Van-Vic)

 1040 Vancouver/ 1070 Victoria :
 
 
1040 CKST's signal is relatively weak towards Victoria since their daytime pattern runs mainly east-west for maximum population coverage in the Lower Mainland of BC and not concentrating too much on covering areas in southern Vancouver Island and northwest Washington while also supposedly protecting another station in Oregon. 
1070 CFAX could have a stronger signal in every direction now as of a transmitter upgrade which was done about a year ago after I noticed that they were causing some off frequency distorted harmonics on I guess 1065 and 1075 which I reported to their CE who was not aware of the problem. I don't know if it was corrected because of my report or by the previously planned upgrade.He told me that the power output had been 8000 watts and would be returning to normal at 10kw after the transmitter work was completed.
