[IRCA] Application by CKKY-830 Wainwright AB to move to 1080 approved by CRTC

[Deane McIntyre <dmcintyr@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

The Application by CKKY-830 Wainwright AB to move to 1080 has
been approved by the CRTC. Day power remains 10 kW but the night power
increases from 3.5 kW to 9 kW. 1080 is the old CKSA-1080 Lloydminster AB
frequency, they moved to FM some years ago. 

WCCO currently gives severe QRM problems for CKKY at night.
