CBU's 6160 khz SW relay not effective at all.

A 50 kw shortwave transmitter (running DRM, backward compatable AM + DRM
modulation) and a Horizontal Log Periodic antenna could serve 50%
(potentally 75%) of Canada's landmass.

As much as I used to enjoy shortwave listening, the times have changed.
Much of the unserved land mass you mentioned is now covered by Canada's
domestic satellite radio and TV services. You're worrying about one
shortwave signal while rural families are snuggled in their homes tuning in
CBC radio and TV, CTV and even TV Land.
