This is a photo from the 1977 MT&T News Bulletin.

There is an error in the caption - Tea Hill was approximately 5 miles from Charlottetown. The replacement link was 40 miles from Charlottetown.

Roger Meek passed away some years ago - his widow donated some items to the Museum.

Now is that a typo in the caption? "The radio single went from Tea Hill to Fraser's Mountain", shouldn't that be Signal? ;D

They sent the newspaper story by microwave and it was still in its infancy. Screw ups like this were common. :)

I just happen to know one, but unfortunately she lacks time travel abilities, so can't correct that error... ;D
