Thanks to our intrepid antenna-climber Deputy Doug, our new antenna is in place, getting ready for our On-Air Test starting June 23. I got home today and turned the radio on, and *gasp* there was nothing. For a while I thought the radio was not going to reach my house...

Our journey toward our new license continues! We have the new transmitter, which is now functional; the next step is to install the new antenna. We have the new antenna now; it will be installed on Thursday at 9am. The station will be off the air for an hour or so...

So great to hear the radio again! We were back on air by noon, just in time for the Uncle Brother show to break the nearly two weeks worth of ice on the airwaves. Big thanks and kudos to Doug Chinnery and Jim Horner and all the other intrepid volunteers who have...

The cable arrived yesterday; Deputy Doug is available to climb the tower today between ten and noon. If it doesn't rain (and as of this writing it is clear and sunny) then we could be up and running in time for the Uncle Brother Show. DJ Vinnie and Famous Jamas are...

Well, we needed to order a new cable; the old one was damaged beyond repair. It is on its way and could conceivably be here by today; if that is the case, you might be hearing us on the radio as early as this afternoon. If it doesn't arrive today, that's probably it...

More bad news, it seems the cable itself is damaged and a new one has been ordered. Many thanks to the crew of motivated and intrepid volunteers who are working so hard to help us get back on the air. It seems the gods wish to test us in our new incarnation, new...

It seems that the detached cable involves some unforeseen difficulties. We have some very motivated people on the job and will keep you all posted! Thanks so much for your patience everyone.

Update: the transmitter is here, but now we need to get somebody to climb the tower as the cable has somehow become disconnected from the antenna. One step forward, two steps back! But it will be soon.

The transmitter is scheduled for delivery today at 1:30 pm; if all goes well, we should be on the air by 2pm. We will be broadcasting for the short term at 20 watts, until we are able to obtain an antenna capable of handling 50 watts, we'll let you know when that...

Well folks, the transmitter made it as far as Vancouver yesterday, and now we expect it by Monday. We hope to be on the air very soon after that, we will keep you posted! This is a rebirth for our radio; with the new transmitter we should be able to reach many more...

CHFR 96.5 FM is presently off the air due to the malfunction of its old transmitter. Ironically, it happened right after our AGM! The good news is that our new 50 watt transmitter should be up and running, hopefully by this coming weekend. Please stand by for news...

CHFR-FM 96.5 Hornby Community Radio Report Exciting news, we have received our license upgrade from the CRTC, and the new transmitter is now on order! This means that we will be able to increase our broadcast signal from its current 5-8 watts as mandated by a...

We have been approved for our license upgrade to an LPFM license by the CRTC, this will enable us to begin broadcasting at 50 watts instead of the current 5 mandated by our developmental license. This means we are entitled to keep our frequency secure (96.5!) and are...
