It's the little things in life that make it good. Yesterday I noticed that North Country Public Radio had added a transmitter at Cape Vincent, the nearest village in the USA to us - where I saw this beauty and which holds its French Festival this weekend - though we have to miss it.
What this means is that I do not have to listen to Oswego NPR in the car in western Kingston and Watertown NPR in the east end. I don't have to roll the car forward a foot or two at Bath and Gardiners to maintain the reception. If you look here you will see the Cape Vincent watertower clearly to the right maybe 15 to 18 km away from here. Watertown is the distant skyline 40 km farther away to the left. Big diff in the realm of FM mini transmitters. Hoo-raa.

I got a QSL:<blockquote class="smalltext">Hi Alan, this is indeed good news! Thanks for the signal report. The 93.9 signal is from our new Cape Vincent transmitter. We installed the antenna 150' up the tower in an attempt to clear Wolfe Island... it looks like it does!<p>Thanks again.<p>Regards,<p>Bob Sauter<br>

BTW - here is the 2005-06 line up for NCPR. Who wouldn't want this as their local radio?
