Yllätyksiäkin Dx-kuunteluun mahtuu - tällä kertaa muutama vuosi sitten lopettanut kanadalainen CKBC asema vastasi yli neljä vuotta raportin lähettämisen jälkeen. Kesäopiskelija oli siivonnut vanhaa toimistoa ja löytänyt avaamattoman kirjeeni..... 73's jhy -----
Dear Jyrki, Hi! I am a summer student working at the offices of Max 104.9 FM, formerly CKBC. While cleaning out an old office, I came across your letter. I’m sorry to tell you that for some reason it was never opened and read. Unfortunate, because I’m sure the station would have been thrilled to read your letter and hear that CKBC made its way to Finland. We’re now an FM station, so I’m sure you no longer receive our station; however, our website will be up and running later this summer- www.max1049.ca <http://www.max1049.ca/> – if you want to check out the new revamped CKBC. My name is Jane Evans, working as promotions assistant for the summer. I’m from Bathurst, but during the school year I study at the University of Ottawa. I’m taking a B.Sc, major in biology, minor chemistry. Maybe I’ll be a doctor one day. As for confirmation of reception, I can tell you from old documents that the old antenna used to be Lat. 47 37 25, Long. 65 37 26, about 5 km away from the station. The antennas were two Andrew ¼ waves, 181 feet high, 181 feet apart. The antennas were aligned at 207, and were directional. The main transmitter was a Harris MW-10 (10 kw) and the backup was a Collins 5 kw. I was surprised to learn that DX-ing is a hobby, I have never known anyone who does this. I have also never been to Finland, but it sounds beautiful, I hope I’ll get there someday. If you are ever in Bathurst, NB, feel free to stop by the Max studios. And I’ll suggest that you do travel to Eastern Canada- it’s beautiful, especially if you still prefer small communities and countryside to large cities. I hope Maarit and Hanna are well. I hope you still enjoy this late (4 years!) reply, and I’m sorry that your letter was never replied to in 2003. Yours truly, ___________________________________________________________________________________ Ennakkotilaa WRTH 2007 nyt: http://www.hard-core-dx.com/redirect2.php?id=wrth2007 ----------------------------------------------------------------- DX mailing list [email protected] http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/dx _______________________________________________ THE INFORMATION IN THIS ARTICLE IS FREE.
