CVGR is an inter-denominational non-profit gospel radio station fully supported and operated by local Christian volunteers.
Test transmissions lasted a week at a time running 24 hrs with presenters broadcasting on 104.7 FM.
The test programmes were short for a start, they were extended over the years to periods of twelve months, most were on a site north of the transmitter hut that we now use today.
As time progressed some equipment was donated in memory of a loved one while other items were gradually purchased as support for the station increased.
When things looked more promising CVGR purchased a link transmitter which enabled the broadcasts to have the studio down in Harcourt at several locations, which made the job much better and safer.
