I WANT SERIOUS TRANSMITTER POWER !!! LOTS of IT!
Radio Canada International Shortwave Transmitting Station
Sackville, New Brunswick, Canada
In the year 2007 we headed out to the Maritimes for another vacation, been there many times.
I was aware of the transmitting station and always wanted to visit it. Today was the day.
(Who knew that a few years later the station would be completely, ! DISASSEMBLED ! )
