I remember that clock. It was a have of mine. I always wondered how you reset it, it being so high. The clock tower at UCC was called "The Four Faced Liar", and was different than the school official time system back then.

Is that the lane behind the shops on Yonge? It's still there as service to the TTC and some of the shops. We moved to that area in 1977, but I don't remember any construction on the St. Clair Centre. Most of it the retail was indeed vacant though. CFRB Building & United Cigar Store haven't...

Me, Dad's Pinto. Cadillac's from that point forward, pretty much.

Wow, great picture. Harry Young moved down Yonge Street on the East side. The building to the right of the "S" in "Loans" is still there. Rolex has their repair office there, currently. I don't know when the St. Clair Centre went up. I used to walk through it all the time.

Ya I remember that. Back in the days when small kids could actually fit behind the front seats.

I'm surprised they let the ivy grow like that. I was told it's destructive to grout. Looks nice, and I'd like that up my house to keep it cool in the summer, but it's destructive.

The one guy standing up. "Waiter!"

I believe Kim Mitchell used to live around there, on the South Side. I used to walk past this house every day after school. Nice street.

Ah I see. It's currently the most "connected" building in Canada. Colocation and NOC for most large Canadian comm companies. Although I'm in a related industry, it's strange to see such a facility stacked with nothing but computers. Rather impressive today, but not too sure about it's...

Any chance anybody has some history on 151 Front St. West?

I agree. It's not like today is any different.

Wow. Video is so powerful. The Exhibition

Posing hottie on corner.

Some hams can hook up a metal bed frame, with all its springs, etc., and tune it up for doing DX (distance) on 5 Watts. With a good tuner you can pretty much hook anything up. No predictions on the signal pattern, but it's been done. It's a shame I can't put up a tower.

Great question. Perhaps sent to the US and broadcasted down there. Could have bounced, but that is truly odd for FM. On sideband, which is quite a regular single bounce, usually ends up down that far. Field Day, is an exercise around North (and now South) America where we practice the whole...

Remember that Canada is an expert at communications. "Average distance between a Canadian and their neighbour is too long to have guesswork at 'if they have any spare milk', if you need any, especially if it's winter." There is a reason why RIM is in Canada. We know long distances. I think...

Some AM are given a label called "Clear Station" where they literally own the frequency in North America. AM is quite wide, so the signal isn't meant to travel very far. Ted Rogers increased the power of CFTR (Canadian Frequencies Ted Rogers) so he could hear it up in Muskoka (he played with...

Actually, it's the solar radiation that carry that propagation. FM doesn't demonstrate this and is basically "line of sight". I have a shortwave long wire made out of speaker wire that runs outside the length of my house, three times in a zig zag fashion. Bedroom to office to back deck to...

I have an iambic key with red paddles around here somewhere. Something like this:

Yessir. That reminds me...7415 KHz over New Year's Eve, is usually filled with pirate radio from around the world. Good time of year to SWL.
