Don,
That reminds me... That transmitter was a LARCAN manufactured in Mississauga, Ontario, just outside of Toronto. They were in the industrial park just to the west of the airport. Larcan was shut down by it's Chinese parent company, with no warning, in July of this year. The Chinese company had acquired controlling interest in 2009. The transmitter shown is still on the air. With the impending resuffle of channels mandated by the FCC, they will likely be relocated as will our Channel 47 transmitter that is just over 10 years old. Whether we will be able to continue to use it or not remains to be seen. I just read an article from a wireless microphone manufacturer that is calling for a investigation of the FCC rule making which plans to take away the wireless mic channels that are given clear use in current FCC band plan.
