Amanda Dawn Christie’s Book on the Radio Canada International Antennas<\/h1>\n

Amanda Dawn Christie together with Thaddeus Holownia and Radio Canada International has authored a 96-page bilingual book titled “Ghost Stations = Stations Fant\u00f4mes<\/em>” a catalogue of an exhibition in the Upper Gallery at 50 Sussex Drive, Ottawa, home of the Royal Canadian Academy of Arts, in March and April 2022. Amanda’s film and a shortwave radio simulcast were featured during the exhibition. From the preface of the book:<\/p>\n

“Ghost Stations was an exhibition about the remarkable \u2014 and now-demolished \u2014 shortwave antenna array on the Tantramar Marshes in Sackville, New Brunswick that Radio Canada International (RCI) used to transmit programming internationally from 1945 until 2012.”<\/p>\n

This is a true hard-cover art book with exquisite page display, typography, and binding and comes with a slip cover. Lots of great photographs and two extended essays: “Photography, Film, and Electricity<\/em>” and “Radio Canada International’s Modern Spirit.<\/em>” The end-pieces of the book feature images of a CBC Radio-Canada International Service QSL card.<\/p>\n

A limited number of copies of the book are available from the Royal Canadian Academy of Arts<\/a>:<\/p>\n
