Good to hear - I wonder how it will be in Barrie?  Their AM signal reaches decently but I think the escarpment of Blue Mountain will block the low power FM.   Why so low power?  A station like that with its coverage and history should have atleast been 20,000 watts lets say on FM. 

Two things. Interference to adjacent channels and might be as much power they can get with US signals that I hear easily on Ontario’s West Coast NPR stations or   Educational Media Stations.

I have heard CFOS FM along line 86 right throughWingham all the way to Mt. Forest no problem. Country 93 is in the same antenna and much higher power and in some spots I can not here them but CFOS comes in being a low power it is a clean channel.
