The power increase of CBDB-990 Watson Lake YT, which relays the CBC Radio One station CFWH-570 Whitehorse YT, has been approved the the CRTC. Note that the Yukon Territory is on Pacific Time so that most CBC network programmes will be heard two hours later on CBDB then they are heard on CBW-990.
<http://www.crtc.gc.ca/archive/ENG/Decisions/2007/db2007-397.htm> 1. The Commission approves the application by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC), the licensee of the radio programming undertaking CFWH Whitehorse, to change the authorized contours of its transmitter CBDB Watson Lake by increasing the transmitter power from 40 watts to a daytime transmitter power of 400 watts and a nighttime transmitter power of 165 watts. 2. The CBC has indicated that the increase in power will significantly improve both daytime and nighttime coverage in Watson Lake and surrounding areas. 3. The Commission did not receive any interventions in connection with this application. 4. The Commission notes that the authorized contours of the transmitter will be expanded significantly as a result of the increase in power and that CBDB’s status will change from that of a low-power unprotected service to that of a regular Class C service. 73, Deane McIntyre VE6BPO _______________________________________________ IRCA mailing list [email protected] http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/irca Opinions expressed in messages on this mailing list are those of the original contributors and do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the IRCA, its editors, publishing staff, or officers For more information: http://www.ircaonline.org To Post a message: [email protected]
