Members of the Ottawa Ski Club will
see a new addition to the lofty top of
Camp Fortune; a 952 foot tower. This
structural steel giant is the new antenna
for CFRA-FM and is designed to generate
the clearest possible signal for the
growing demands of FM listeners in the
Ottawa area.
The moving of CFRA's FM tower
from the Queensway studios to atop
Camp Fortune is just one more step in
CFRA's 1961 expansion program. CFRA
has built a new antenna system for its
regular AM operations at Manotick and
boosted power from 5,000 watts to a
North American maximum of 50,000
watts. With this power increase CFRA
can now be heard from Sherbrooke,
Quebec on the East to Mattawa, Ontario
on the West, one of the most powerful
stations in Canada. Its basic design
though, is to produce a better signal for
Ottawa and the Valley, one that will
RADIO STATION CFRA
give the constant high quality performance
CFRA has sought since it went
on the air fourteen years ago.
Wider programming has demanded additional
strength being added to the
News Department to provide a broader
coverage of regional news and sports so
that the local stories from many of the
towns and cities in CFRA's new listening
area will not be omitted. CFRA
continues to be the "Sports Station" in
Ottawa, broadcasting "live" coverage of
all Ottawa Rough Rider games, Hull­
Ottawa Canadiens hockey games, and
the games of the American League Detroit
Tigers and Cleveland Indians. Of
special interest to skiers, CFRA will
again this year present daily reports on
ski conditions in the Ottawa area and in
the Laurentians, putting its full support
and coverage behind the Ottawa Ski
Club.
