[IRCA] CKKY-830 applies to CRTC to move to 1080

[Deane McIntyre <dmcintyr@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

CKKY-830 Wainwright AB has applied to the CRTC to move to 1080 (the
old CKSA Lloydminster AB frequency) and to increase its night power
to 9 kW. Day power would remain at the present 10 kW. Two applications by
CKKY to move to FM were turned down by the CRTC some time ago. Looking
at the coverage maps in the application, the signal would be directed north
in a broad lobe, with nulls to the south to protect KRLD I presume.

I presume that this would allow CFCW-790 Camrose AM to move to 840 as was approved
by the CRTC a couple of years ago (Decision CRTC 2008-310), subject to the CKKY move being approved.
At the moment CFCW has serious signal problems at night due to KGHL Billings MT and 
KJRB Spokane WA, and CKKY is badly QRMed by WCCO.

Wainwright, Alberta
Application 2010-1609-8
Application by Newcap Inc. to amend the broadcasting licence of the commercial, 
English-language AM radio programming undertaking CKKY Wainwright by changing the 
frequency of its transmitter from 830 kHz to 1,080 kHz, and by changing the authorized 
contours by increasing the night-time transmitter power from 3,500 to 9,000 watts. 
All other technical parameters would remain unchanged.
The licensee states that the proposed technical amendment would improve night-time 
service to the listeners in the rural Wainwright area.

73,

Deane McIntyre
