Amazing to see these old Larcan Leblanc transmitters still in use after all these years and finally being replaced with new equipment!

CFTR in Toronto was one of only two in the city in the 80-90’s that had a voice scrambler mode on the two way. The callsign was “cjy731” and when the newsroom called and a said “can you go C J Y 7 3 1 Charlie “ meaning switch to scramble mode….you knew some shit was going down!

We are very saddened to hear that radio presenter Johnnie Walker has died at the age of 79. After his time on Caroline he joined BBC Radio 1 in 1969 and Radio 2 in 1997, where he remained until his retirement. The great gig in the sky has a new compère. RIP JW.

This guy was at CFRB 1010 when I was an engineering student there. Back when the fm station was simply known as 99.9cKFM. Legend! Late 80’s I think? Then again so was Dave Agar Does this make us old?

Really sad to hear of Howard Christensen passing. He was a force at Broadcast News and later when he was running Broadcast Dialoge magazine he convinced me to write a few articles on Towers! Condolences to Ingrid and the family. He will be missed.
