CFRX 6070 khz uses a Harris !kw transmitter to relay the programs

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.

... but not making the 701B.

According to Ian Sharp, CFRB/CFRX engineer:

"The EB701HF that CFRX uses was purchased new."

And Paul Gregg of Bauer Transmitters, Inc. states:

"The 701BHF transmitter was purchased new by CFRB/CFRX.

The 701 series of transmitters began production in 1971 and concluded in
1992 when the plant in Sacramento was moved to El Paso."
