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?

Probably diesel fuel or heating oil from the tank farm or the under ground oil distribution system in the late 70s. Limited electrical power was provided by diesel generators until the community was connected to the Manitoba Hydro grid about 25 years ago. Apparently one major leak was discovered when a visitor walking from the school to a nearby teacher`s residence and found himself walking through puddles of fuel. It ran overland to one or more sewer inlets resulting in inches of fuel on the sewage lagoon some of which was pumped off and filtered for reuse. Some of the contaminated fuel collected was also spread on the roads to help control dust.
