Boston radio in the Maritimes

[Dan.Strassberg]

And the AM in Antigonish (the accent is on the nish, BTW) was CJFX 580 
originally with 5 kW-U DA-1 two towers, figure-eight pattern 
protecting WTAG, then later 10 kW-U DA-1. Nice signal in a rather 
sparsely populated area. However, I believe that, for many years, 
there was no station in Port Hawkesbury and until the new station 
signed on (CIGO 1410 10-kW-U DA-1 two towers, east-facing cardoid), 
CJFX served that community as well as Antigonish. I note that CJFX was 
eventually granted 25 kW DA-1and was reclassified as a Class A AM. I'm 
skeptical that that final upgrade was ever built, however, and CJFX 
moved to FM several years ago.
