580 AB Edmonton CHAH Some confusion about whether the station will be able to use their published “Radio One” branding, especially since
they are sharing towers with the local CBC Radio One station CBX-740.
600 BC Vancouver CKSP Off the air the last week of August after it was discovered that the voltage rating of the guy wire insulators was too low
to handle the signals of both CKSP and CKNW on the same towers. Replacement now completed and CKSP is back on the air testing 24/7.
960 ON Mississauga CKNT Applied to increase Ethnic programming from 15% to 22% per week, and to modify its English language programming
to include World Music with announcing using some non-English words to help newcomers improve their English.
1200 BC Vancouver CJRJ Short term license renewal expiring August 31 2023 due to multiple failures to meet conditions of license.
1380 ON Brantford CKPC “Arise Brantford” moved with their Current Christian Hits format to 25KW CKPC August 31 in a format swap with
CFWC-FM, which became “Hot Country 93.9”, dropping CKPC’s Hometown Radio branding.
1410 QC Montreal CJWI (Incorrectly listed as “St Constant” in the government’s Spectrum Management System) Short term license renewal,
expiring August 31 2022, due to numerous failures to meet conditions of license. The CRTC also issued three new Mandatory Orders to emphasize the severity of these failures.
1490 ON Mississauga CHTO-1 Construction Permit expired September 1 and no extension has (yet) been announced. There are no confirmed reports of the station being on the air yet. Was licensed to simulcast CHTO-1690 Toronto with non-directional 23 watts day and 770 watts at night, to improve night-time coverage in the west end of Toronto, especially Brampton, Etobicoke and Mississauga, which are areas where CHTO-1690’s signal has been inadequate at night since CJLO-1690 Montreal came on the air more than 10 years ago.

Grimeton’s sister station shall reappear in the stratosphere!
A balloon experiment, launched by Warsaw University of Technology, is planned to lift off on September 12th 2020, carrying an unique VLF 210-m-long fully-airborne antenna system, creating EM field on 14.2 kHz – former frequency of the Babice Radio Station in Poland. The project is delivering very important data for a doctoral dissertation – any and all feedback on the reception of the signal (reception location, SNR, bandwidth etc.) is extremely important; your help with the listening to the transmission would be invaluable!

More details on the flight & transmission:
12.09.2020, estimated lift-off time: 13.00-14.00 CEST [11.00-12.00 UTC]
Lift-off location: Przasnysz Airport, Poland (53°00’46.3″N 20°55’52.4″E)
Flight duration: ~3 hours
Max. altitude: 30 km ASL
Emission type: A1 (narrow-band carrier) @ 14.2 kHz (1st class mobile EM device)
Operation starts on ground, the antenna rises with the balloon ascending.
Additional radionavigation signals: 144.8 MHz (seen on aprs.fi under callsign SP5AXL), 868 MHz.
VLF antenna type: center-fed half-folded vertical electric dipole with capacitive sphere and vertical axial coil.

If you have any questions, the Babice Radio Station Culture Park Association (trcn.pl) – the patron of the experiment – can answer via e-mail: stowarzyszenie@radiostacjababice.org or Facebook.

Local stations add FM broadcasting.
After more than seven decades in the broadcast business, including several years simulcasting online, one would think there are no more worlds to conquer for local radio stations WPAQ and WSYD.
One would be wrong.
Earlier this month, those long-time local AM stalwarts expanded their reach to the FM dial, giving the stations more reach, and far more time, on the air.
The stations officially made the switch on Aug. 7, with WPAQ now available on the FM radio dial at 106.7 while WSYD resides at 105.1. Both stations will continue to also be heard on AM, WSYD at 1300 and WPAQ at 740, as well as reaching a worldwide audience online.
