Speaking of GYers, if you have not logged CIBQ-1340 Brooks AB you only have a few days left, as they moved to FM (105.7) in mid Feb and the 90 day simulcast period is nearly over. This will leave their sister station CKSQ-1400 Stettler AB as the only GY station left in Alberta. They cannot move to FM under the current CRTC regulations which state that no owner can have more than two FM (or two AM) stations in the same market (Newcap, the owner of CKSQ, also owns two FM stations in nearby Red Deer). 73, Deane McIntyre Calgary AB _______________________________________________ IRCA mailing list IRCA@hard-core-dx.com http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/irca Opinions expressed in messages on this mailing list are those of the original contributors and do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the IRCA, its editors, publishing staff, or officers For more information: http://www.ircaonline.org To Post a message: irca@hard-core-dx.com
