Steve,

I thought I had CKZN from St John's, NL Canada

last night 20 SEPT 2007 @ 09:03 UTC

here in Twain Harte, CA USA.

Channel Africa ID @ 10:21 UTC
Africa Rise and Shine ID @ 10:22 UTC

-But- a Check of the CBC Radio Overnight's
Broadcast Schedule shows both :
http://www.cbc.ca/overnight/schedule.html
CKZN from St John's, NL on 6160 kHz {24/7} and
CKZU from Vancouver, BC on 6160 kHz {24/7}

However - What I was hearing was the individual
Radio Show {Re-Broadcast} Times for Pacific
Daylight Time (PDT) and that it was CKZU from
Vancouver, BC Canada instead.
http://www.cbc.ca/programguide/progr...adio+Overnight

Considering that CKZU is located in Richmond, BC
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richmond%2C_BC
123.12W 49.08N and is Rated at 1 KW plus it uses
a Directional Antenna designed to Beam it's Signal
Up North into Canada and not down south into the
USA; about 1000 Miles.

It was a shame when CKZN went to a 24 hr format. When I lived in
Montreal, CKZN (Newfoundland) was the dominant station but went off the
air for a bit during the local nights. I managed to get readable
reception of CKZU during one (very late) summer evening.

Now that I live in Edmonton, I can pretty much forget about hearing CKZN
as CKZU easily dominates the frequency.

They go off the air at sunset. Sometimes they overlap RNW for an hour,
and they jam each other quite well.

On the other hand, it's pretty much a straight shot over water to here,
120 miles south (Seattle), and right now, (9 AM PDT, Sunday) 6160 is
only a noisy S4.
