Re: [IRCA] CBE 1550 Windsor ON
I did catch 1550 ESPN radio as I was passing by so it was probably KESJ. It wouldn't have been a new station anyway. Domestic circumstances kept me away from the radio most of the evening so nothing new to report.

Re: [IRCA] CBE 1550 Windsor ON
One more update: the interference issues with CBEW-FM were caused by a pirate in the Detroit area, which has been shut down, so there was no need to postpone the shutdown of CBE. The segment about the shutdown aired on CBE at about 1750. They used the audio from this TV story (mind the wrap): http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/windsor/story/2011/09/30/wdr-goodbye-am- frequency.html See y'all on 1550 tonight...

Re: [IRCA] CBE 1550 Windsor ON
Hi, Rick and Tim-- I heard this one too, after Rick tipped me off about St. Joe (which I couldn't hear here). It was mostly weak in the jumble here, although at times it broke through. The only problem was that I was hearing Southmoore as Southport and the Sapulpa team referred to as the Deacons. My internet searches were coming up zero. Finally I was able to hear the one HS clearly as Southmoore, find that they were indeed playing Sapulpa tonight, and correctly ID Sapulpa's mascot name as the Chieftans, not Deacons. In the end a great sleuth job, but the station itself was unneeded here. 73 Bill Dvorak Madison WI In a message dated 9/30/2011 9:45:44 P.M.

Re: [IRCA] CBE-1550 Windsor ON applies to move to FM (97.5, 3.2 kW)
Here in the West, we still have plenty of CBC service, CBU-690, CBX-740, CBR-1010, CBK-540, CBW-990, and CFPR-860. Plus I get CBXQ-540 (LPRT from Vancouver Island).

Mine too. If 1550 goes dark, I can hear no CBC stations on MW, at least not without a beverage. John Cereghin Smyrna DE Karl J.

This will replace the never implemented nested FM relay on 102.3 MHz. CBE will go silent after the usual three month simulcast period. Excluding a few 40 watt low power relay transmitters this is the last (assuming that CBI will also actually move) English language CBC station on AM between Manitoba and Newfoundland. 31. Windsor and Leamington, Ontario Application No. 2008-1352-8 Application by Canadian Broadcasting Corporation to convert radio station CBE Windsor from the AM band to the FM band. The applicant is also proposing to establish a new FM transmitter at Leamington. The new station would operate on frequency 97.5 MHz (channel 248B) with an average effective radiated power of 3,200 watts (maximum effective radiated power of 19,000 watts with an effective height of antenna above average terrain of 130.1 metres). The Leamington transmitter would operate on frequency 91.5 MHz (channel 218B1) with an average effective radiated power of 6,100 watts (maximum effective radiated power of 10,400 watts with an effective height of antenna above average terrain of 58.7 metres). The applicant is requesting, pursuant to sections 9(1)(e) and 24(2) of the Broadcasting Act, the revocation of the licence of CBE effective at the end of the simulcast period. The applicant has indicated that it will apply, within 30 days of the implementation of the proposed FM transmitter at Windsor, for the revocation of the authority granted in Broadcasting Decision CRTC 2008-101 for a nested FM transmitter on the 102.3 MHz frequency in Windsor. The applicant has indicated that it will launch both the Windsor and Leamington transmitters within one year of the approval where, at which time, it will operate in simulcast mode for three months. Following this period, the applicant is also requesting, pursuant to sections 9(1)(e) and 24(1) of the Broadcasting Act, the revocation of the licence of CBE Windsor. 73, Deane McIntyre VE6BPO ___ 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 _ Get 5 GB of storage with Windows Live Hotmail. http://windowslive.com/Explore/Hotmail?ocid=TXT_TAGLM_WL_hotmail_acq_5gb_112008 ___ 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 ___ 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
Re: [IRCA] CBE-1550 Windsor ON applies to move to FM (97.5, 3.2 kW)
Group: I will miss hearing CBE when I go back to Port Huron to visit. Aren't they alreaddy simulcasting on 93.5 in Sarnia/Chatham? How far east of Windsor will they have to build the new tower to protect 97.1 and 97.9 in Detroit? More importantly, what happens to 1550's status as a Canadian Clear Channel? Or does such a status even exist anymore. Will this open the door for Delaware, OH to actually cover the Columbus area at ngiht, and Fremont, MI, to get more power, particularlly more night power? What about the four tiny 1550s in Indiana? As far as DX is concerned, CBE was never much of a problem for me. Its signal in Port Huron was about equal to that of WXYZ-1270 (listenable, but far from local quality), and it went off after midnight with the rest of the CBC. I logged a number of stations on the channel during CBE's SP, including KKHI, the WBSC DX Test (1971?), and the Tijuana. I also logged the major southern U.S. stations at LSS in the CBE null. CBE slop was never a problem on 1540 or 1560. CBEF, after it came on, was much more of a problem for me in Port Huron. 73 David ___ 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

The West doesn't include Southern California. I haven't heard Canada from here since the last two Canadian frequencies (1040 and 1200) became occupied quite a number of years ago. CKST made it down here pretty well. 73 - Original Message - Date: Thu, 13 Nov 2008 10:42:00 -0800 From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Patrick Martin) Subject: Re: [IRCA] CBE-1550 Windsor ON applies to move to FM (97.5, 3.2 kW) To: irca@hard-core-dx.com (Mailing list for the International Radio Club of America) Here in the West, we still have plenty of CBC service, CBU-690, CBX-740, CBR-1010, CBK-540, CBW-990, and CFPR-860.

Re: [IRCA] CBE-1550 Windsor ON applies to move to FM
I hope it takes a while. I will visit my parents in Michigan next summer and CBE is in my MI log but I never sent them a report. The only Canadian that's heard down here in So Cal is 1130 Vancouver and it's not a regular. I've heard bits of what I thought was CBK-540 but never an ID. I've only heard 5 Canadians since 1985 and 3 were only heard once: CFFR-660, CBR-1010, CKST-1040, CKWX-1130 and CKDA-1200. Only CKST and CKWX were heard more than once.
