Default Some AM and SW DX questions

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"http://www.bbc.co.uk/caribbean/institutional/frequencies.shtml

The usual ID for ZNS1 is "This is Radio Bahamas"
Voice of the Caribbean is another outfit altogether and don't transmit
on 1540

Radio Holland around 1540 AMhttp://www.radionetherlands.nl/

I don't know what you are talking about here as they are called "R.
Nederlands" not R Holland. Also they don't broadcast anywhere near
1540.

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...


The number of International stations being broadcast on local stations
is vast, too big to list. You just have to research it on the web and
using a comprehensive handbook like the WRTH 2008.

Broadcasts are rigidly controlled by governments, international
agreements and by the ITU. You can't just start broadcasting on any
frequency you like. Frequency separations on MW AM are 10 kHz for the
America's and 9 kHz for the rest of the world.
