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...

I've heard stories, though I can't remember if it was about the station that
relayed CFCF radio here in Montreal, or the Toronto station.

But I thought both stations would be off the air by now. I'd say it's
pretty definite for the Montreal relay, given that CFCF doesn't even
exist anymore.

But these sorts of relays likely have been around for decades, from
a time when they might have had some purpose, and just kept going
through lethargy. The company has likely changed hands a few
times, nobody around knows about it, etc, etc.

So yes, if it really is still transmitting, it likely gets
no attention and when something fails, likely that's it.

Run along, 'tard boy. I'm certain there's a newsgroup devoted to cartoons where
you and the other dumbass Canucks can congregate.

Leave the shortwaves to the big boys.
