Default Listening North of the Border - Radio Canada (CBC) and Radio Canada International (RCI)

TK,

I can generally pick-up CBK 540 kHz (SK) and CBU 690 kHz (BC)
from Canada for the "OverNight" International News Programming;
down here in the SF Bay Area in the wee-hours of most mornings.

NOTE: Most Internaional Shortwave Broadcasts BBC, DW, RCI, ABC,
RNZ, NHK, CRI, VOR, VOA, etc are the easier catches.

The Internet is the easier listen.

bothering with USA stations, can hear and see all of that without SW.


Any MW from North of the Border is drowned out by all the locals on that
band. I live at the confluence of two major broadcasting markets. As for
the Netherlands, they cut their news bulletins a year or so ago in favor
of 30 minutes of prerecorded NewsLine. That and they tend to have
technical problems, at least on the Western NAm stream. Havana always
makes me feel like I'm in a time warp back to my days as a people's
vanguard in San Francisco-they sound a lot like my former comrades. Kind
of amusing now that I'm grown up, but I wouldn't want to listen to it
every night.
