Radio Canada International does not target Seattle on SW!

Somewhere on the net is a map showing Sackville's North American antenna
coverage, and Seattle / Olympia are skipped entirely. Needless to say,
there is no BC Relay Station either.


You're close enough to Vancouver that you can hear CBC on MW and wouldn't
surprise me if you could FM also, which is the source of most of RCI's
programming. Suggest you also try the N Amer and Asian freq's anyway and
see if you can hear RCI. I'm betting you will hear them some times.


No, they notch the pattern on the 690 kHz CBC-1 station, and there's a
clear channel here on 710 (KIRO) (apparently running IBOC judging from
the hash on 690) so it's easier to get their 6160 kHz relay (for the
back country of BC). But even that isn't coming in here today, unlike
last week.

Easier to get the 92.1 FM station, and there's the French language
broadcast on 97.7 MHz, too. 92.1 is CBC-2, the classical music station
there.
