A post about St Johns which caught my eye and my heart :)
I was there for a year in '58, my first 'posting' with the Decca Navigator company. Landed in Gander. Spent time in St. Johns , driving out to Pouch Cove daily where we had a Navigator Station. Loved St. Johns, even won a prize on the radio for knowing a piece of music :) Then on to Port aux Basques by Newfy Bullet. We stayed on the line ;) Oh, and I forgot a stint on a monitor station based right by a fish plant. OMG.. and breaking down on the runway at Gander while monitoring the Dectra signal. A lot seemed to happen in Newfy! I left in that winter when all the cables and poles were buckled by a thick coating of ice, and went on to PQ for a year. I loved Canada :)
There was also a Station in the middle of Newfy somewhere but I'll have to search for it on Maps..
