Re: [IRCA] License of CHSC-1220 St Catharines ON NOT renewed by CRTC, will go silent

["Kenneth Nawalkowski" <kennethnaw@xxxxxxx>]

Hi,
    I live approximately 100 miles WNW of portage la prairie and CFRY 920 
comes in loud and clear at my location every night. In fact CFRY has to be 
completely nulled before I can log anything else on 920 and Colorado is the 
only distant station I have ever logged on 920 so I don't expect portage la 
prairie to complain about CKNX.
