This is the Okalakatiget Society CKOK AM transmitter #2, the back up. I was packing her up to ship to Goose Bay, so thought I’d take a picture. It’s some old job for sure, circa over the bloody hills.
Everything seems to be working in her but still no signal strength, could be a loose wire some place. All the tubes etc are in place except the crystal. The multi colored alligator clips go to the Antenna, it is hung on 80 foot high cedar poles.
Both CKOK and CBC use AM in Nain, it gets the signals out to the outlying cabins.
CKOK also has an AM transmitter in HV-GB, almost as old as this one.
CKOK uses FM signals via the community radio stations in the four other Inuit communities.
Hopefully money can be raised to buy a new transmitter when the replacement Media centre is built. Parts are becoming very scarce for these old ones.
