CFRX 6070 khz uses a Harris !kw transmitter to relay the programs of
CFRB Toronto 1010 khz.

The website given below states that they use an Elcom-Bauer 701B-HF
transmitter.

Most of the Bauers were kits, built on site by the station engineer. This
would indicate the transmitter is around 35 years old, and probably
failing.


Well, the article states that the transmitter was installed in 1983...


Probably used, then. The 701 B was built in 1973.


Guess that's kinda up in the air since the 701B was introduced in 1973 and hard
to say whether they continued to make it or not. The company, Elcom-Bauer,
continued at its California plant until 1993.

CFRX has had occasional problems over the years, and this is certainly not the
first time they've been off for a bit.
