I received this Polaroid photo of the CCAT transmitter setup back in the mid 1980's and thought I would share it here. I can't find the personal letter QSL it came with, but my recollection is that the op also announced using the call letters COAX and used a snail mail address in Toronto. Does anyone else remember this one or have any other information? I would be interested in hearing anything about this Canadian operation!

I checked my QSL collection, and I have a similar photo, along with the cover letter:

Very nice Chris! My QSL letter is still to be found, but my recollection is that it had much the same information as your's. I recall that the initial broadcasts were done using the COAX call letters, and a subsequent transmission I heard was indeed as CCAT-Canadian Club Radio. The operator was bummed out after a lady friend had broken up with him and was lamenting the fact with a number of F-bombs during the broadcast...
Now why did I throw away all those hundreds of cassette tapes I recorded during the 1980's... >:(
