For Tony and Art, thanks. I heard CKZN's broadcast around 9:00 P.M.
if memory serves. I was twirling through the 49m band that night and
paused to listen to this broadcast because all their news and stories
seemed to be tailored to a far narrower audience than the usual CBC
fare I pick up out of Toronto. One story in particular caught my
attention and that was the report of the Newfoundland fishermen who
had set fire to several fishing boats which the provincial government
had purchased for the use of the local indigenous tribe.

Regards,

Grumpus

Good catch. What time of day did you hear it?

I live on Long Island and sometimes hear the Halifax station on
6130(?)kHz. They start coming in in the afternoon, but are soon
overtaken by the high power broadcasters.
