Best SW stations for news?

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.

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.

BBC is okay, though in my estimation they are turning (or perhaps have
already turned) into a mirror of how US news operates - the prime
difference being that you see the British slant versus American. DW
was always a favorite and I miss their programming (they no longer
target North America). Radio Netherlands is decent and an easy catch
also. Being as you're 'Pacific Rim' Australia is a good source of
news and so is Japan, South Korea and China - though you'll probably
hear China from a relay, I think they have one in Canada. Speaking of
Canada, our neighbors to the north have a different view of world
events than we do in the US so they too are worth listening to. Cuba
is fun, especially if you used to listen to Radio Moscow during the
height of the Cold War - Cuba will remind you of those days.

Happy Listening,
Howard

TK,

I can generally pick-up CBK 540 kHz (SK) and CBU 690 kHz (BC)
from Canada for the "OverNight" International News Programming;
down here in the SF Bay Area in the wee-hours of most mornings.

NOTE: Most Internaional Shortwave Broadcasts BBC, DW, RCI, ABC,
RNZ, NHK, CRI, VOR, VOA, etc are the easier catches.

The Internet is the easier listen.
