RE: [AMRadio] CHU has to move?

I am not a listener of CHU but I am curious as to what would be the disadvantage to changing the license from FIXED service to BROADCASTING service. Are there fees involved and special broadcasting requirements that would cost a lot of money? John, WA5BXO ___

And, overall, why do we care about this particular CHU frequency. They're still going to be transmitting on their other frequencies, there's WWV on a number of stops on the dial, and inexpensive atomic-type clocks all over the market that can provide accurate time. Pete, wa2cwa On Thu, 19 Oct 200

I just bought a Ranger but the manual does not agree with the hardware. How can I tell if I have a Ranger or a Ranger II? Mine has a deck with tubes and a pot mounted above the function switch. No such deck exists in the pics in the manual. js -- PHOTO OF THE WEEK: http://schmidling.com/pow.h
