OMG!!! I remember watching this back in the day on VHS tape long since lost. To see them again as they started out brings back so many memories associated to 'that time'. Getting together over holidays going to university and jamming to Buddy Wasisname songs and re-telling of their stories for the poor sod like myself who couldn't play anything with strings. Imitation is the best form of flattery. A real gem of a find for sure.
What year was this? I worked at CHCM as a student for the last 5 months Mosher was at CHCM. I actually went on air on the weekends doing the weather on the weekends after he left.
There was a lot of destruction in those days. The buldozers buried a lot of good timber when building roads. I logged in Cold Brook area in the 60s and prior to the bulldozing the topsoil for roads, they cut and hauled the right-of-way. My father was a lumberjack from the bucksaw and axe era, along with a lot of other men from the area. Men used to walk 40 miles to board the train heading to work in the woods. They would stop at my grandparents' place in the middle of the night, (the doors were never locked) and sleep on the floor. They would be served breakfast in the morning before heading off again. They would do the same going back home after the work season was ended.
Detailed and comprehensive! I was born in Corner Brook in '62. While I never logged or worked for Bowater, this still feels like a part of my heritage. Wood that escaped the booms would wash up on the beach, particularly where I grew up in Humbermouth. Some folk would gather up these logs and deliver them to the mill for some spare cash. One aspect that I recognized in my early teens as being less than good for the environment was the way waterlogged wood accumulated on the bottom around the mouth of the Humber. This, and the use of waterways for transport must have had a negative impact on any wildlife dependent on these waters.
Thanks for the great video, Be have so much history, especially here in the Glenwood area. I will be adding documenting some special areas and antique equipment later this year. Although the damage to the habitat was severe, I think the story of our Fathers and grandfathers need to be told and respected.
Yikes! We had an optimod at our radio station, the "engineer" had the thing so out of adjustment he had ferite cores completely unscrewed from adjustable IF coils! The entire station had been wired by Dekane before they went bankrupt and was loaded with ground loops; he was trying to tune put the noise by literally screwing up the OPTIMOD. 73s from KD7CKT Flagstaff
Sounds pretty good. I’ll post my Optimod (same as yours) with the XT chassis playing this same track, as as long as RU-vid doesn’t remove the audio over a copyright, you’ll get to hear the compare ‘N’ contrast of the 2 band structure (yours) and the 6 band structure (mine W/XT)
That news sounder at 11:43 really takes me back to when I lived in Corner Brook (2001 to 2007, not long before CFCB was completely absorbed into VOCM).
@@kodygardner5351 Very sad, but that's been the story of terrestrial radio for many years. I remember when Port aux Basques and other Western Newfoundland communities had their own CFCB stations with some local programming. Similarly, Carbonear, Marystown and other towns in Eastern Newfoundland had their own VOCM stations, sometimes with not just their own programming but even completely different formats. (CHVO in Carbonear was a country station. Actually, it still is, but with completely different branding in line with other Stingray country stations across the country.)
That one sounds better than the VOCM one. Only other version of this that I know is is for CJCB. I guess you won’t hear this version anymore on CFCB since it was rebranded as 570 VOCM. Sad how they gutted that station if you ask me.
I know how you feel. I wish cfcb would come back. I miss having local programming all day and all night. Now all we have is what happens in St. John's.
Memory overload here. Bill Bartlet, Chris Green and Danny K were corner brook radio in the 80s. Honourable mention needs to go to Dave Elms who did both CKWK, CKXX and CFCB. Btw the AM Stereo sounded pretty sweet too.
I miss AM radio. There are no AM stations left here in Halifax, though late at night you can pick some up from New York City. Country station CJCB in Sydney is still hanging on at 1270.
Most people drive as fast as possible away from Port Aux Basque from the ferry. Stephenville is a town full of Jackie Tars so we aren't proud of that area.
you all probably dont care at all but does someone know a tool to get back into an instagram account..? I was stupid forgot my password. I love any help you can give me.
@Fisher Troy i really appreciate your reply. I found the site through google and I'm in the hacking process atm. Takes a while so I will reply here later with my results.
