12095 returned as noted by another listener. I listen on SSB b/c of
an annoying teletype signal. I don't know what that is. I've had
BBC on 6195, but I get various bits of interfering signals on 6135
and 9525. I haven't really tried to ID them, but it's something
non-English. I'm a long way north of you maybe 2500 miles and 1000
west.

Sorry to hear about the interference problems. I don't have that
problem just that 12095 is usually to weak for me to want to listen to
it. 6135 is not a strong signal for me either. 5975 is usually very
strong and 9525 seems to be as well. 11835 was good a while back.

All other BBC frequencies for me are weak most of the time. Other than
frequencies I mentioned above and a few others beamed to Mexico the next
best bet for me appears to be frequencies beamed to Africa.

I had to look at Mexico schedule (central America) to find any short
wave frequencies beamed to this part of the world. As you know they
just provide FM and now Sirius and XM satellite to the USA.

The BBC world service web site is real slow.

I couldn't hear Africa on 6005 last night (0500 UTC), which is normally
reliable. It was barely there. What other times and frqs are you getting
BBC-Afr ? I like this stream b/c its so different in focus at least part
time.

Satellite radio is available here, mostly used by truckers who are going day
and night, and people north of 60 (in the NWT and Nunavut) where you can't
get much other than CBC-northern service (if that).
