[IRCA] CIBQ-1340 Brooks AB applied to CRTC to move to FM (105.7, 6.6 kW)

[Deane McIntyre <dmcintyr@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

CIBQ-1340 Brooks AB has applied to the CRTC to move to FM (105.7 MHz,  
6.6 lW,

45.6 meters)

Once they go, the only AM stations left in southern Alberta will be  
those that serve

the Calgary market. The signal of CIBQ has degraded considerably as  
heard in Calgary over

the past several years (Brooks is about 90 miles/150 km SW of Calgary)
