My first QSL card during my time being serious about shortwave in the 90s. Kind of surprised 6070 is still on the air.

It is owned by Bell Canada. It doesn't generate a nickel of revenue for the Company. Bell has been shutting down stations all across the country. The only reason this one hasn't been axed is that CFRB's engineering staff maintain the transmitter voluntarily on their own time.

If a time comes when the station's equipment requires a major expenditure, that will be the end of it.

Bell is a good telephone Company but they should have stayed out of the broacasting business.
