My apologies for not updating in a little while. Our testing period progressed without so much as a hiccup. We shut down the station from Wednesday until Saturday at 6pm so that our AM guy could finish his work in the studio. All the wires have been cleaned up and we did some minor reorganization of the equipment. I'm very happy that we've done this, as now there are no more loose wires or pieces of gear laying under the desk.
Today, at 8am, we flipped the proverbial switch. As I write this, we are now broadcasting our proper content live on 1690AM to all of Montreal. It's very exciting, to say the least. I'll update with more details later, but now, I have loads of office work to catch up on.
Hurray! 1690AM!

Since I posted that last message, I've received email from radio operators from East Yorkshire in the UK, from a few kilometers out of Helsinki, Finland, and from Sweden, 200km out of Stockholm. That's incredible. So far as local listeners go, with a good old standard AM radio, we've been heard as far as the Gaspésie.
