Yes, CJEU-1670 was Radio Enfant, and it still is, but it now shares time with 
"Oxygene Radio".  As Tony Ward has already mentioned, the new 1350 is 
currently //1670, but I expect that to change once they move to their 
religious programming format, //CIRA-FM.  Looks like Tony gets the nod as the 
first out-of-town logger!
