I would rate the international broadcasters as follows, based on
reception quality and quality of sound. Everyone else chime in:

1. Radio Netherlands
2. CRI
3. Radio Australia
4. RNZI
5. BBC

not ranked:
Deutsche Welle: A non-entity on radio these days, has pulled back too
much transmissions.

Voice of Russia: Broadcasts, but reception is absolutely terrible,
and their audio equalization has too much bass such that even when
reception is good, it is difficult to clearly understand.
