To follow up on this- I did find another official Nova Scotia highway map in my collection, but it is undated. It is probably dated in the late 1970s, since highway 101 is not depicted on this map, The city maps are hand-drawn- ugh! There is a radio station list that includes some of these stations listed below.
Quinan, CBAF-8 on 600 is a French CBC station and the calls are given as CBAS Sheet Harbour or Canso, CBAZ on 1230. This station is not listed on this map Larrys River, CBAU on 1370. This station is not listed on this map. Arichat, CBAF-13 on 610. This station is not listed on this map. Cheticamp, CBHE on 1380. This station is not listed on this map. Wedgeport, CBAF-7 on 990 is listed as a French CBC station with calls CBAA Some other presumed low-powered CBC stations, all in French, are listed on this map: Digby, CBAE on 990 Meteghan, CBAH on 580 Weymouth, CBAG on 1550 Yarmouth, CBAJ on 1230 Were all the low-powered CBC stations in Nova Scotia broadcasting French programming?
