Not exactly shortwave programming, but likely of interest to folks here. Since CHU is now licensed as a broadcaster and not a fixed service, they no longer have a built-in prioritized right to the 7335 kHz frequency.
WHRI has decided to use this frequency for several hours/day and has referenced with the HFCC for 24 hour/day usage. See Brian Smith's forwarded note below. Apologies if you've already seen this elsewhere. Richard Cuff / Allentown, PA ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Brian Smith <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: May 7, 2007 3:42 PM Subject: [ODXA] CHU frequency conflict with shortwave station WHRI To: Group/ODXA <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Here is a response from CHU. Please email the people below and let them know your not at all happy witht he situation. Also, please pass this email along to other groups and continue the fight. Brian Smith Ontario DX Association Board of Directors [EMAIL PROTECTED] ---------------------------------- Hello Brian, I am aware of this situation. CHU has a licence to broadcast on 7.335 MHz and this frequency has been registered with ITU, HFCC, FCC and other broadcast authorities. This, however, does not guaranty that we own this frequency, for all international purposes. We must now fight for it, with the FCC. I have sent several letters to WHRI, but their chief engineer has not replied to me. I have also sent a letter to the FCC stating the use of our service on this band and our long standing service at this frequency. They have yet to respond. We must now go through all politically correct channels to resolve this dispute. But the members of your association can use other mean declare their dissatisfaction with the interference from WHR. Have your interested members send email to WHR ( [EMAIL PROTECTED] ), and the FCC ( [EMAIL PROTECTED] ). This may have more impact.
