BBC (America and Africa streams), RNL, DW, R Australia, Radio Havana Cuba,
Radio Polonia & Channel Africa on CBC 1 radio overnight. CBC on MW. Not
bothering with USA stations, can hear and see all of that without SW.

Any MW from North of the Border is drowned out by all the locals on that
band. I live at the confluence of two major broadcasting markets. As for
the Netherlands, they cut their news bulletins a year or so ago in favor
of 30 minutes of prerecorded NewsLine. That and they tend to have
technical problems, at least on the Western NAm stream. Havana always
makes me feel like I'm in a time warp back to my days as a people's
vanguard in San Francisco-they sound a lot like my former comrades. Kind
of amusing now that I'm grown up, but I wouldn't want to listen to it
every night.

I was wondering what all of you regularly listen to for news on SW. I'm
thinking of dusting off my Degen 1102 and seeing what I can hear that
comes in reliably. I'm in northern California. I'm sick of depending on
American TeeVee for news.
