Saul, I don't count call changes as new stations, either. And, in fact, I only

Didn't CJFT in Fort Erie co-exist with a station on 530 at the Toronto airport?
That would seem to indicate that greater Toronto and Fort Erie are far enough
apart that CIAO could be counted as an entirely different allocation, despite
the relative closeness of Brampton and Fort Erie. That
Yikes. I'd hate to have to walk from Brampton to Fort Erie: they're
roughly 100km/60 miles apart even as a crow would fly. Ft Erie's just

Yes, CJFT 530 was around in the 80s. I heard and QSL'd them. I believe the CE

No, no, Mike. As I've already alluded to, CJFT went silent in 1991 (Sept.
30th, I think) and CIAO moved from 790 to 530 to occupy that spot on the dial.
They were two totally different stations. CJFT was, IIRC, a relay of CJRN-710
for a while.

Various people pointed out that WKPR applied for permission to move from 1420
to
1440 and that it was a frequency change rather than a call change for WDOW,
which went silent, albeit as part of a financial transaction making WKPR's move
possible.
So this one will go in as new. Interestingly,

Heard 'NPR News' on 1260 at 1901 EST. Does WSHU sound like it's on day 1000
watts or on 9 watts as it's supposed to at this hour? It's nowhere near

I think so (re 790). I think there's an emergency station on 530 in Chalk River

Unless a transmitter site move is involved - 50 miles is as good as any
although some use other values, I would view this as analogous to a call change.

Hi Saul:
Although it is possible that WSHU 1260 was on day power, they are really good
about reducing power according to license.
They are a local to me and they are not a potent signal by any means.
I hear them locally on occasion driving throughout their service area when they
are on night
But it's not a call change.. Totally different facilities and station
