Targetting is irrelevant - enough spills over that there is zero difficulty in getting anything coming out of Sackville through all of North America. You're close enough that you can get almost all the Vancouver TV and radio stations with only slight effort, anyway! Tim. |

I've picked them up (but not at a convenient time). The Radio Netherlands weekend programs out of Sackville at 11:00 AM -1:00 PM PST get here, with variable success. They also relay out of East Asia at times, too. So you may be able to get that better. If you just want to hear CBC prgrams, don't forget CBC 90.5 FM Victoria, which is closer. The Vancouver stations are CBU 690 AM and 105.7 FM. They can be found on the web at: http://www.bcpassport.com/vital/radio.hmtl 690 kHz in Seattle is hopeless, even before KIRO-710 started IBOC. They have an amazing notch in their pattern and even with a sal****er connection all the way there, I never got more that a barely listen-able signal. It's easier to tune to 6160 kHz, daytime, to get CBC-1 or 540 kHz (CBK Regina?) at night. Even better is FM, CBC-1 is somewhere down in the educational frequencies, (maybe that 90.5 MHz you mentioned), and CBC-2 is on 92.1 MHz. And the French service is just below KING-FM. 97.7 or 97.9 MHz. (They've put some new US stations in there, so there may be more of a problem getting that now). There's also a lot of RCI on the early morning World Radio Network feed on KXOT-91.7. I think that's also the HD2 program on KUOW IBOC.

This is a shortwave group, yet nobody mentioned the CKZU relay on 6160 kHz! I imagine Seattle is probably one of the few places in North America where you can get reasonable reception of their signal, at least when R Netherlands isn't thumping away on 6165. |

I'm surprised that no one has mentioned that RCI just a week or so ago
revamped its entire program and transmission lineup, and dropped all the CBC-originated programs, and that the new ones are so limited in scope and essentially uninteresting that there is just about no reason to listen to RCI any longer! The thrust of all the RCI programming is now oriented toward new and prospective immigrants, explaining the details of life in Canada to them. Can be interesting at times, but not as a steady diet, and gets repetitive already, even after this short a time. The Maple Leaf Mail Bag program on Sundays is supposed to continue, but last week's edition was a repeat of the previous, pre-changeover one. Their current lineup drastically reduced English, and they now have a series of other-language programs with some English hours interspersed, in a totally incomprehensible arrangement, in the service directed toward the US and North America. How many Chinese-speaking people interested in emigrating to Canada would be listening to 9610 kHz at 1405 UT (8 AM Central) in the US? I'll guess twelve... :-) Yet they devote an hour to that language daily then. (9610 replaced the previous 3 frequencies -- 13655, 9515, & 17810 [might be off a bit on that last one] -- even though they worked OK. They waited to do this AFTER they had printed and mailed out the new season's program/frequency schedules, all of which are now wrong and useless. What a waste! If you can receive the CBC Northern Service on 9625 kHz, as mentioned before in this thread, it provides the main worthwhile shortwave signal from Canada now. But reception of that is really problematical. Will |
