The future operation of the time service provided by the National Research Council Canada's Short Wave Radio Station CHU is in jeopardy.
CHU users should visit the NRC-CRNC's CHU web-page at http://inms-ienm.nrc-cnrc.gc.ca/time_services/shortwave_broadcasts_e.html (excerpted below) to learn more about the future of this service. CHU users are encouraged to contact [EMAIL PROTECTED], or mail CHU Canada K1A 0R6, and express their support for this service. | NRC Short Wave Station Broadcasts (CHU) | | NOTICE: | | About the New Messages on CHU October, 2006 | | The added messages on CHU are: | | "On April 1, 2007, CHU needs to stop operating, change frequencies, or | re-licence. Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED] or mail CHU Canada K1A 0R6," | and | | « En avril 2007, CHU doit soit cesser ses opérations, soit changer de | fréquence, soit renouveler sa licence. Contactez [EMAIL PROTECTED] | ou écrivez à CHU Canada, Conseil national de recherches, K1A 0R6. » | | This outreach is to collect information from users of CHU to help | shape recommendations concerning what should be done concerning | changes to CHU that will have to be in place by April 2007. | | In April 2007 the licence on 7.335 MHz will have to be modified | to reflect changes on the status of the band allocation by the | International Telecommunications Union. | | <snip> | | CHU is entering a phase where major investment in new transmitters | will be required if it is to be kept operating. In the absence of | input from the CHU user community, concerning the importance of | CHU's contribution in the modern world, [closure of the entire CHU | operation] is an inescapable recommendation. | | <snip> | | Please, if you know of anyone using CHU but not aware of the possible | changes to its frequency usage, let them know and ask them to contact | us about any essential uses. Also if you have an important use for CHU | signals, please tell us how you use our signals. | | We are quite prepared to keep CHU in operation, and we will try and | make the best case possible to present to all decision makers. -- Steve Kostecke <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> NTP Public Services Project - http://ntp.isc.org/ _______________________________________________ questions mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ntp.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/questions
