Default CBW 990 AM good in the am.

Its been coming in great around 0300 for the past three nights in
Tulsa, Ok. Sunday
night they had an excellent Jazz music program playing, no station ID
at the top
of the hour, but I could tell programing was Canadian... Almost
armchair (or
bedside) copy at times. Using a GE P780 with internal ferrite antenna,
73's

I have been hearing CBW Winnipeg with a good signal in the mornings
about 7:00 am. There is national news and then local programming with
no commercials. The national news at 7:00 am includes world and US news
items often not heard on the US networks. Their mailing address is:

I've been hearing them from Western NY during the evenings on my
Sangean DT-200V, some nights with a signal so good it almost sounds
local. I listened to their election coverage (ridings in Winnipeg and
Manitoba environs) a few weeks back and sent them a snail mail report
the next day. I never noticed them on the dial until the beginning of
this Fall. All of a sudden they just appeared one night and I couldn't
believe my ears. I wonder if they changed their antenna pattern. It's
not true DXing, but 1200+ miles on a pocket radio is kind of satisfying.
