What are the good freq's for the BBC to North America These Dyas ?
 

I can't figure out the BBC web site for SW frequencies to the
northeast of the USA.

What's the current list of freqs to try.

Thanks

5975 will probably be your best bet. It's on from 21:00 thru 04:00
UTC. It booms in here in the Southeast USA.

I can back-up Dan on that. If the BBC has ceased targeting N.America,
their broadcasts on 5975 are strong enough to lend the impression that
the Atlanta-GA area is in the path between the target area and the
transmitter.

The BBC stopped targeting North America specifically (on shortwave) in 2001,
however the broadcasts continue to be heard and are targeted to the Americas.

You shouldn't have trouble hearing them. 5,975 kHz will likely be the
best in the evening for you. There's 12,095, 15,190 and 15,400 kHz during
the day, the latter of which seems to be best in Minnesota. Late at night
I hear them (not necessarily strongly !) on 6,005 and 6,195, and I think a
frequency in the 41-m band. I don't know how up to date these are (I
think we're in the A04 season now, they were right during the winter, and
I'm guessing they are at least for the most part still good).

And the BBC does broadcast in Spanish
to the U.S. and is readily heard. Spanish BBCWS
is the WS too.

There are the back signals from Ascension
Island to Africa as well.
