CANADA - Listened to the last 15 minutes of CBC Sackville on 9625 starting at 0450 November 1. Reception actually
quite good, much better than normal for this service into Texas. Last part of "As It Happens Midnight Edition," then usual
English ID and address announcement at 0459:30, CBC News at 0500, then usual closing announcement in French,
followed by "O Canada." Tone came up afterwards, carrier off at 0509:15.
And just like that, 68 years of transmissions from this facility come to an end. I first heard it in the mid-1960's, when all
it had were the old 50 kW RCA units, and just one program feed. It was a pretty big deal when the five 250 kW Collins
units were added in the early 1970's. The RCA units were replaced by 100 kW Harris transmitters in the mid 1980's,
and the Collins were replaced by ABB units during the 90's, IIRC.
Goodbye Sackville, and thank you. As with RNW, good memories, although the final few years of RCI left much to be
desired. Anyone need some used shortwave transmitters Between Sackville and Bonaire, there are a dozen up for
grabs. :-) (Steve Luce, Houston, Texas)
