Weather issues delayed construction of the new site for more than a year. He also mentions final approval after testing was granted a few days ago .. on January 26th. Joe also made a couple of mentions of the station being 10 years old. I believe CJJC originally signed on in late 1962 or early 1963.
I'd say the change to 800 occured on Jan. 31 or Feb 1, 1973.

quoting Dave Chesney....
when CJJC moved to 800 from 850 to increase the power to 10,000 watts the signal was much poorer.
Within a year or so the same consulting company that talked Dad into moving to 800 from 850, put in an application for CFVR in Abbotsford to increase their power to 10,000 watts and move to 850 on the dial.
Conspiracy? Well I'm just saying....
Peace Dave Chesney
