BBC (America and Africa streams), RNL, DW, R Australia, Radio Havana Cuba,
Radio Polonia & Channel Africa on CBC 1 radio overnight. CBC on MW. Not
bothering with USA stations, can hear and see all of that without SW.

I was wondering what all of you regularly listen to for news on SW. I'm
thinking of dusting off my Degen 1102 and seeing what I can hear that
comes in reliably. I'm in northern California. I'm sick of depending on
American TeeVee for news.

BBC is okay, though in my estimation they are turning (or perhaps have
already turned) into a mirror of how US news operates - the prime
difference being that you see the British slant versus American. DW
was always a favorite and I miss their programming (they no longer
target North America). Radio Netherlands is decent and an easy catch
also. Being as you're 'Pacific Rim' Australia is a good source of
news and so is Japan, South Korea and China - though you'll probably
hear China from a relay, I think they have one in Canada. Speaking of
Canada, our neighbors to the north have a different view of world
events than we do in the US so they too are worth listening to. Cuba
is fun, especially if you used to listen to Radio Moscow during the
height of the Cold War - Cuba will remind you of those days.

Happy Listening,
Howard
