[IRCA] CHAT update

[Nigel Pimblett <ntp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

CHAT's official switch to FM (94.5 MHz) will happen on Monday, January 
9th at 8:00 am local time.   It's nice to see they appreciate some of 
the history, as they'll be having voices from the past that morning in 
the countdown to the change, with the final voice fittingly being that 
of Orv Kope, CHAT's first announcer, from 59 years ago.   In a way it's 
a bit sad, being the end of the AM radio era in this part of Alberta, 
but it'll certainly help my DXing, as 1270 has become a very messy 
signal over the last year.
Of course 1270 will continue to be on the air for up to 3 months after 
Monday, but will be simulcasting the new FM.
