CFRX 6070 - In a recent phone chat with the engineer, a new
solid state transmitter is on order for CFRX. It`s made by a U.S.
company. Go to http://www.armstrongtx.com to see details. It`s a
rebuild of their medium-wave transmitter, model X1000B. I assume after
the work is done it would be called the X1000B/SW. This thing should
be light years ahead of the old Elcom Bauer transmitter. I'll also pop
into the transmitter site and take a few photos of the new
installation when things are completed. It`s my understanding that
delivery of the transmitter will be in early January, I'll keep you
posted. There's some final work to be done on the antenna (antenna
tuning unit needs tuning and the antenna guy wires need some final
adjustments). Its all slow but sure. The important thing is CFRX will
be back on the air soon. From the e-mail and web buzz, a lot of people
are anxiously waiting for its return. CFRB/CFRX QSL Manager (Steve
Canney, VA3SC, DXplorer Dec 31 via BC-DX via DXLD)

Hmm, I had just about given up CFRX.
