I had the same problem, except I got CFRB instead of CHUM. I lived
roughly the same distance from both. I would have preferred CHUM. ;-)
Same basic tech but different experiential outcomes based on topography. I got my set by sending in cereal boxtops. A couple of years later a classmate of mine had a kit where the tuner actually worked for multiple stations. But his dad was an electrical engineer and helped him out with his kit, the parts for which, were definitely not from R. J. Kellogg's Battle Creek loyalty rewards centre like mine and maybe yours was.
