From Maryland, I just got the following, but correct me if I am wrong:

Bahamas ZNS Broadcasting Corporation of the Bahamas -1540 AM
Callsign was "Voice of the Caribbean"

Radio Holland around 1540 AM

CBC-1 (Canada ?)), around 1500 - 1600 khz, was simulcating broadcast
news from different countries, but not sure from where in Canada.

If this makes sense, are any of these programs simulcast, like Radio
Holland, over CBC-1, or some stations in the US? Do the international
AM broadcasters stick to the typical US MW frequencies, or can any of
them get picked up in the low SW frequencies? Thanks...

John Plimmer can answer this better than I, but in North America,
stations are 10kcs apart, in Europe, they are 9kcs apart. I live in
South Florida and the Bahamas comes in on 810 am very strong. Some
international broadcasters rebroadcast European programs here in North
America, the BBC is on many FM stations.
