CKOK has gone FM. Testing for the moment but soon all the way with CKOK 99.9 FM.
To expand a little: The new FM transmitter has been installed for some time waiting for the antenna to be hauled aloft the CBC tower [75 feet high].
That task has now been completed, along with the connecting cable of course.
There may be some fine tuning needed but from early listening the reception is a lot clearer and sharper than the AM.
The FM is a 1Kw job compared to the old AM 30 watts, it is hoped that the height of the antenna and the 1Kw transmitter will make up for the difference in sound wave travel of the FM signal.

Is it strictly FM or will the operation be AM/FM
Hi PD,
Good to see you still kicking and checking me out.
For a three week period there is an obligation to use both FM/AM.
I do not speak for OKS but the technical advice is to go with both until such time the AM transmitter gives up the ghost. It is not costing anything so maybe that is what will happen.
Yup, still here my friend. More nudging than kicking though. Still post weekly to Paradise Driver but spend most of my time working on Home Theater Center. Check it out when you can. Over 1,300 movies to watch for FREE.
