Re: [IRCA] CFXG-1230 Grand Cache AM applied to CRTC to move to FM

[Mike Stonebridge]

CFXG-1230 Grand Cache AB, the 50 watt relay of CFXE-FM Edson AB, has
applied to the CRTC to move to FM (93.3 MHz, 190 watts, minus 81.7 meters


Bummer! At 176 miles, this is my closest unheard. Only been trying for it 
for 35 years and never even a hint.  Never heard it when I lived in Fox 
Creek either, and that town was 77 miles nearer to Grand Cache than my 
current location. Not really surprising as a few miles either side of town 
it's gone from the car radio. Lets hope the FM will reach out a little 
further.

[IRCA] CFXG-1230 Grand Cache AM applied to CRTC to move to FM

[Deane McIntyre]

CFXG-1230 Grand Cache AB, the 50 watt relay of CFXE-EM Edson AB, has
applied to the CRTC to move to FM (93.3 MHz, 190 watts, minus 81.7 meters)

http://www.crtc.gc.ca/eng/archive/2010/2010-539.htm#9

Grande Cache, Alberta
Application No. 2010-0970-5
Application by Newcap Inc. to amend the broadcasting licence of the 
English-language 
commercial FM radio programming undertaking CFXE-FM Edson.

The licensee proposes to add an FM transmitter at Grande Cache, Alberta, to 
broadcast 
the programming of CFXE-FM  in order to adequately serve the population of 
Grande Cache.

The transmitter would operate on frequency 93.3 MHz (channel 227A1) with an 
effective 
radiated power of 190 watts (non-directional antenna with an effective height 
of antenna 
above average terrain of -81.7 metres).

The licensee seeks to replace its existing AM rebroadcasting transmitter CFXG 
Grand Cache 
with an FM rebroadcasting transmitter.

The licensee states that, because electrical and other interference levels have 
increased 
and the expectations of the population with regard to quality have risen, the 
low-power 
AM signal has become unreliable and unsatisfactory.

73,

Deane McIntyre VE6BPO
