[IRCA] CBDS-690 Pukatawagan MB applies to move to FM (102.5, 0.2 kW)

[Deane McIntyre <dmcintyr@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

CBDS-690 Pukatawagan MB has applied to the CRTC to move to FM
(102.5 MHz, 0.2 kW, 24.6 metres).

Get this 40 watt relay of CBWK-FM (carries CBC Radio 1 network) before
it is too late:). Manitoba is on Central time so CBC network programming
on CBDS-690 will be generally two hours ahead of CBU-690.

I wonder what the CBDS xmitter site is contaminated with? PCBs from
an ancient leaking oil capacitor in the xmitter?

Pukatawagan, Manitoba
Application No. 2008-0320-7

Application by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) to amend the
licence of the English-language radio programming undertaking CBWK-FM  
Thompson, Manitoba.

The CBC proposes to convert its AM transmitter CBDS Pukatawagan,
Manitoba to the FM band to broadcast the programming of its Radio
One service originating from CBWK-FM Thompson, in order to serve the  
population of Pukatawagan.

The transmitter would operate on frequency 102.5 MHz (channel 273A1)
with an effective radiated power of 200 watts (non-directional antenna
/effective antenna height of 24.6 metres).

The CBC advises that the FM transmitter is intended to replace its
existing AM transmitter CBDS and that recently the Mathias Colomb
Cree National Chief and Council advised the CBC that the CBDS site
is contaminated and they will proceed to decontaminate it by June 2008.
The CBC indicates that the FM transmitter needs to be operational by  
this date.

The CBC is also requesting to amend the licence of CBWK-FM Thompson
by deleting the AM transmitter CBDS Pukatawagan.
