[IRCA] CBE-1550 Windsor ON applies to move to FM (97.5, 3.2 kW)

[Deane McIntyre <dmcintyr@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

CBE-1550 Windsor ON has applied to the CRTC to move to FM (97.5 MHz,  
3.2 kW, 130.1 meters)
with a second transmitter at Leamington ON 991.5 MHz, 6.1  kW, 58.7  
meters).
This will replace the never implemented nested FM relay on 102.3 MHz.  
CBE will go
silent after the usual three month simulcast period. Excluding a few  
40 watt low power relay transmitters
this is the last (assuming that CBI will also actually move) English  
language CBC station
on AM between Manitoba and Newfoundland.
