Default BBC Programs Heard on DC-area FM stations.

Depends on where I am, really, as to how reception is. It can be
difficult in D.C. and NOVA, given the many strong local signals which
can easily overload a cheap FM receiver (even w/antenna down). Radios
w/a good FM section, like the E1, would be able to pull WBJC out, even
in the worst locale. With my Sangean 606A, however, receiving WBJC is
a hopeless affair in D.C. proper and in Arlington and Alexandria
counties.

Can you get WBJC where you are? I have heard it on a car radio as far
south as Culpeper VA.

I just tried a few minutes ago in Alexandria, with a DX-399, off the
whip. I think that's the same as the Sangean 606A. WBJc does come in,
but I had to walk around the room to lfind the sweet spot. Even then it
was noisy. I got stereo reception using headphones, again with noise.
You could tolerate it in the background probably.

I wouldn't listen to bbc if they paid me.I am trying to figure out how
to sweet talk that Bell South woman next door out of that 1955 Chevrolet
Cameo pickup truck she bought a couple of weeks ago.
