Future of SW station CKZU [6160 kHz](Vancouver)
 

Hi Glenn,

Just received this e-mail:

Hello Ron:

The future of CKZU [6160 kHz] is currently being evaluated. There is a distinct
possibility
that the operation could close. However a final decision has yet to be made, and

will depend in part on whether the FM application is approved and the
new service
is implemented. At this point a "wait and see" approach is best.

Thank you again.

Howdy,

Would you know if the wire antenna atop the CBC building (in Vancouver)
is the one they use for transmitting (HF), or just a monitor? I've always
wondered HI HI ...They're a great prop check here on the west coast.

Thanks.

I'm not 100% certain, but I believe that the SW transmitter and antenna are
co-located at the MW transmitter site.
