Hi Glenn,
Didn't mean to startle readers here or DXLD Yahoo! group members with 
my report on CBR 1010 Calgary being out of commission.
CBR has been off for maintenance a lot lately. They've just moved from 
prime real estate inside Calgary to a new piece of land around 
Chestermere, a few km due east of the city. Since the change, they've 
had a breakdown of their main transmitter and have been running at half 
power (or less) using a backup TX, often going off the air completely at 
night.
I don't think they're leaving AM anytime soon: The outlay required to 
replace its AM coverage with FM repeaters was deemed inefficient in 
terms of cost and spectrum. (At least that's what the CBC argued at the 
time of its applications for a nested FM Radio One transmitter for urban 
Calgary.)
73,
Ricky Leong
Calgary
