Dane, Your geography is good. We are on the Canadian border in minndsota although the border is probably 300 miles north of Minneapolis. There is a CBC station on 1010 KHZ in Calgury Alberta. It covers a pretty wide area. There is also a commercial station that I believe is still broadcasting in Toronto. It was CFRB, and had a short wave outlet of CFRX on 6070 KHZ, but I don't know the current status of that station. Let me know if this helps.

Where you're living is near the border of Canada right? If so could you give me the ID of the Canadian station on 1010KHZ? I think it might be part of a CBC network.
