Peter.Go to the story at LC.Net/Canada(http://www.lambethconference.net/canada/) and view the video interview Of Jane Alexander linked there. That should give you an excellent idea of spectrum placement. The videos have been removed from the Diocesan site and I don't know how to link that one here.
