much. People have lives...spouses, families, kids, jobs etc. Much as many
of us would like to spend a good chunk of our time online and/or twiddling
the radio dials, for most of us life simply doesn't allow us to do this.
This is only a hobby...not a full-time profession.

I am not making demands. I know Steve was once on this list when I did a
search, but apparently not since several years ago. BTW, there have not
been any posts to the CFRX yg which I think he may own, since Nov. 12.
Since ODXA is in charge of QSLing CFRX, one would assume ODXA would be a
bit more interested in keeping everyone informed about the status of the
station. Steve seems to be the conduit for such info, so at least we may
learn something second- or third-hand.
Keeping up with CFRX comings and goings should not amount to being a
"full-time profession". Perhaps it's not so strange that there is more
interest in CFRX outside Ontario than inside.

This from Steve Canney today: Not a big update but I had an e-mail back
from the engineer the other day indicating the section of the new
transmitter causing problems is off getting fixed by the manufacturer,
hence CFRX being off the air once again. No idea when it'll be up and
running ....ugh!
On the up-side, I've received a number of interesting reception reports
from DXers in Europe for CFRB 1010 over the last few months.
