Dear Dr. Salmaniw:
Thank you very much for your e-mail of the 8th, which we have forwarded to Ian Jones.
Let me assure you that there is ABSOLUTELY NO TRUTH to this story about a BC relay site. Personally, I seem to remember something similar popping up on the net a few years ago, which I probably became aware of through something published in Glenn Hauser's DXLD. That was debunked fairly quickly, and this should be debunked as well.
I remember having heard that a BC relay station was supposed to have been under consideration decades ago. In fact, that was likely something I heard Ian McFarland mention back in the days of the SWL Digest programme. However, nothing was done. I was surprised to hear your mention of recalling test transmissions, since I was unaware that there might have been anything of the sort.
Our frequency manager, G�rald Th�or�t, was quite surprised to see this website. He is looking into the matter, trying to determine where the site is registered and to whom it is registered, since it shouldn't be mistaken for any official RCI site.
Again, thank you for drawing this to our attention.
Yours very truly,
Bill Westenhaver RCI Audience Relations
>>> Walter Salmaniw <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 08/08/03 01:12am >>> Ian, a good friend of mine in Victoria sent me this somewhat official looking URL (but with a host of spelling errors) . Can RCI possibly really be considering a west coast relay site? I know this was considered many years ago, and I even recall test transmissions. Perhaps someone at RCI can look into this rumour, and also tell us about the history behind RCI's desire for a west coast site. By the way, one Ian MacFarland of RCI fame is a good friend of ours, and belongs to a small but keen group of west coast SWLs. Keep up the good work!
