[IRCA] CBC LPRT CBMO-1240 Lac-Mégantic Quebec applies to move to FM - temporary

[Deane McIntyre <dmcintyr@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

CBMO-1240 Lac-Mégantic Quebec, a 40 watt relay of CBVE-FM Quebec City  
is now silent,
and the CBC has applied to the CRTC for authorization for a temporary  
LP FM transmitter
(104.1 MHz, 50 watts, -38.7 meters) to serve this community for three  
months.

Don't expect CBMO to come back however, as reading between the lines of
the full application I suspect that eventually a  permanent  FM  
transmitter
will be installed to serve this area.

Lac-Mégantic, Quebec
Application No. 2008-0942-8

Application by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, to amend the  
licence of
the radio programming undertaking CBVE-FM Quebec.

The licensee proposes to add a temporary low power FM mono  
transmitter at Lac-Mégantic
to broadcast the programming of CBVE-FM, in order to adequately serve  
the population of Lac-Mégantic.

The licensee states that this transmitter is temporary for three  
months and is
necessary because the present low power AM transmitter, CBMO, had to  
be turned
off due to renovations to the site made by the municipality of Lac- 
Mégantic.

The transmitter would operate on frequency 104.1 MHz (channel 281LP)  
with an
effective radiated power of 50 watts (non-directional antenna/antenna  
height of -38.7 metres).

This temporary low power FM transmitter will restore the Radio One  
service to Lac-Mégantic.

73,

Deane McIntyre VE6BPO
