Steve,

I thought I had CKZN from St John's, NL Canada

-But- a Check of the CBC Radio Overnight's
Broadcast Schedule shows both :
http://www.cbc.ca/overnight/schedule.html
CKZN from St John's, NL on 6160 kHz {24/7} and
CKZU from Vancouver, BC on 6160 kHz {24/7}

However - What I was hearing was the individual
Radio Show {Re-Broadcast} Times for Pacific
Daylight Time (PDT) and that it was CKZU from
Vancouver, BC Canada instead.

Considering that CKZU is located in Richmond, BC
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richmond%2C_BC
123.12W 49.08N and is Rated at 1 KW plus it uses
a Directional Antenna designed to Beam it's Signal
Up North into Canada and not down south into the
USA; about 1000 Miles.

yes - i heard it on the radio ~ RHF

It was a shame when CKZN went to a 24 hr format. When I lived in
Montreal, CKZN (Newfoundland) was the dominant station but went off the
air for a bit during the local nights. I managed to get readable
reception of CKZU during one (very late) summer evening.

Now that I live in Edmonton, I can pretty much forget about hearing CKZN
as CKZU easily dominates the frequency.
