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.

I enjoy listening to that kind of thing much more than the usual shortwave
broadcasts. I used to like listening to CBA (1070 kHz) in Moncton, NB for
the same reason. They must have changed their antenna pattern, cuz I don't
hear them that well anymore (and I think there's another Canadian station
sharing that freq now and they take turns fading in and out).
