I'm not positive about this but at the present time Canada has no plans to
convert their AM stations to IBOC (Hybrid digital) which is a wise non-move
considering all the problems it is going to create very soon with
interference especially at night and also public apathy with the radios.
There has been however a fast migration to FM lately in Canada which is the
more likely reason.

That, and probably HD radio considerations, are probably the reason
they're selling it. It looks like it's been well and lovingly maintained;
this box is clearly the Pride and Joy of the chief engineer.
I dearly LOVE the traditional, high level plate modulated broadcast
designs,
but even an old fart like ME recognizes that in terms of overall efficiency
they're power hungry dinosaurs. And trying to run HD with it is just
begging
for trouble.
Whoever buys it, I just hope they appreciate that they're getting a
transmitter
that was not just maintained, but clearly LOVED. That's clearly apparent
from
the photos. And beleive me, I KNOW; I've seen my share of broadcast
transmitters,
and you can tell the poorly maintained ones with a quick glance.
