Nothing strange about it. As you might have heard, English and French
are both official languages of Canada, and since CHU is a service
operated by a Canadian federal government agency, it must therefore
provide that service in both official languages.

I suspected this was a Canadian txer but that perhaps like everything
else on mother Earth it was Chinese owned. *

First, a big BUMP to all of you'z.

Folks I just ran into this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_line_communication
and I wonder if it could be the reason why most of my SW bands sound
like snow - day and night. Apparently it uses frequencies that
overlap extensively with traditional SW bands. Also, I happen to live
less than 50 feet from telephone poles/lines.

Shall I go out in the middle of a state forest and see what SW I pick
up?
