Yes, I forgot about 1110. Then there was 1070 and later 1200 for Alberta. And I too had forgotten all about St Albert. With CJXX and CFGP being less than a 100 miles away, it will be a long time before I forget them as they both still exist on FM. As too does CFMG, tho at around 300 miles I don'

If this AM had been in October, it would probably have been a "Korean Morning." As it was, it was the usual Asia early and DU late, with the Asia being better than most other mornings so far and the DU being quite attenuated. The hets that didn't make it to audio were almost all early and on

Yes, the old 840 Grande Prairie. Both Grande Prairie's disappeared from AM, both 840 & 1050. Retuning a transmitter for a new frequency is fairly easy to do, so the transmitters could end up anywhere. At the cost of a new transmitter, I can imagine that used ones in good contion would be in demand.
