[BC] Re: AM Auxiliary Sites

[Patrick Griffith, N0NNK / WPE9HVW]

When I visited Vancouver BC in November 2004 both CKWX / 1130 and CKNW /
980 had auxiliary sites co-located with their studios in downtown
Vancouver. Both used Nautel 400 watt transmitters and Valcom 75-foot
loaded fiberglass verticals atop multi-story office buildings. CKNW had
another 75 foot Valcom as an emergency antenna at their main transmitter
site. You can see photos of both of these auxiliary sites on my
"am-dxer" web site (see link below). Click on "CKWX station tour".
