    Take A Tour Of CHU, Canada’s Time Station

    It's been on shortwave broadcasting the time of day and nothing else since 1929. Ever wonder what it looks like, how it works, where it's located or if anyone is actually listening? The article below has the answers.

    "... CHU broadcasts automated voice time signals in both English and French 24/7.Its broadcasts are transmitted on 3.33, 7.85 and 14.67 MHz, and are heard through central/eastern Canada and the eastern United States, plus many other areas of the planet on a regular basis. "

    Lets review...

    i) Service in both official languages
    ii) Operates 24 / 7
    iii) Domestic and international service
    iv) Staff of three (3)
    v)  Online/Digital presence...
    vi) Operates commercial free

    All done for a lot less than $ 1.2 billion annually  

    How do they do it???
