Re: [IRCA] CFUN 1410 call change?

[Mike Hawkins <michael.d.hawkins@xxxxxxxxx>]

My completely unofficial records on the station are:

1922 Mar    - CFCQ came on the air on 667 KHz (back in the wavelength days)
1925        - Changed frequency to 730 KHz
1928        - Changed calls to CKMO
1933        - Changed frequency to 1410 KHz
1955 Feb 15 - Changed calls to CFUN
1969        - Changed calls to CKVN
1973 Sep 30 - Changed calls to CFUN

Didn't track any further at the time.
