Radio France broacasts (in French) to US?
 

Can anyone advise me as to the best chance to hear Radio France Int'l
on the East Coast US. Freq / time? Their web site is hard to figure
out. If anyone has info on this, I would appreciate it!

Thanks

Try http://www.eibi.de.vu/ . No RFI to NA but some broadcasts to Africa
will come in.

Radio France International (RFI) broacasts in French to US? None.
There are none that I am actively aware of.
Sadly, St. Pierre & Miquelon were never used as a relay station bases to
North America.

-- Only 100 kw is needed to cover North America from the Atlantic Time Zone.
-- At least 2 x HR 4/4/1 transmission antennas [standard for shortwave
broadcasting] could have covered the US and Canada, provided that they were
used simultaneously to create a 120 degree beam.
-- This broadcast antenna design is essentally what RNZI uses at Rangataki
Relay Station.

On this board, Canada and France are the same country.

If your goal is to listen to the programming RFI is on at least one
NPR affiliate, WNYE-FM 91.5 . They don't stream. Maybe it's on another
affiliate that does.

Don't blame me. I voted for Gore.

RFI (or at least one part of Radio France) buys block time on some
big-city US broadcasting stations. It's often just two hours in the
morning (drivetime). IIRC they are on 1120 AM in the Wash DC area.
They're on in the Boston area but don't know the freq. One would think
there would be a web site that listed these frequencies and times.

BZZZT - wrong.

St Pierre and Miquelon used to broadcast shortwave and AM to North
America. In fact it was one of the pretexts for MacKenzie King's plans
to invade the Vichy controlled islands before the Free French showed up
and got everyone in a tizzy (including the Americans who were pro-Vichy
at the time).

Since then, the islands broadcasted AM programming of Radio France
Outremer on 1375 kHz until early 2004.

The antenna is still there BTW ...

Theirry,

That is just what I was looking for!

Merci, mon ami
