** CANADA. 14670, May 23 at 1504, JBA carrier S8 but no CHU pips
audible; and nothing on 7850. Ontario & Quebec hit by a storm May 21
with heavy damage including to CHU. Richard Langley, NB reported at
2110 May 23:
``I have been in touch with the CHU technical officer and he reports:
"We are still assessing the situation, we should know more soon.
I have not even been allowed on the site yet."
Note that CHU is controlled remotely from the NRC Montreal Road
(Ottawa) campus. Following (presumably) resumption of power at the
station, the transmitters went into some sort of default mode. --

never any details as to why. Via Ron Trotto here`s about the storm but
not mentioning CHU:

original version from Rhodesia of `The Lion Sleeps Tonight` (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
