Holland On 990 AM
Hello group.
I live in the chicagoland area, and was picking up a Holland station the other night at 990 on the AM band. I was able to receive it for about 20 minutes before it faded. I didn't hear a call sign. I am assuming it was being relayed from Canada? Does any one know? Thanks John York (remove NOSPAM from e-mail for response) |

(callsign is CBW but it's almost never used on the air) They relay various overseas broadcasters overnight. IIRC you'll hear the CBC News at the top of the hour. -- Doug Smith W9WI Pleasant View (Nashville), TN EM66 http://www.w9wi.com |
