Willis,
You think CBC is tough to deal with IDing - the suggestion of getting local
content is a good one. Here at the Nfld DXpedition, we hear tons of stations
from Spanish network, sometimes two ir three deep, echoing like mad, and
when you have multiple of, say COPE, or SER, or RN1 stations all on one
channel, and like me you don't understand Spanish beyond a few words, you
are truly challenged. I have not heard CBC NF from Ontario in many years,
and I hear CBK a lot. I think for you it would take either incredible
conditions to the Canadian maritimes, or a well-laid-out, directional and
terminated longwire. I'll put it another way - we do not have a wire pointed
at TN and I have not heard 650 WSM. (Mind you, I did last year using a loop,
but then again up here on The Rock you could hear everythging if you had
the time. I had 1200 WOAI TX the other night on an ultralight. One of our
gang had India 1566 on a Sangean ULR.

Willis, what you need to do is listen just before or just after the news.
They'll announce local weather, for instance, or FM frequencies frequently
for neighbouring towns. The national feed of the news will the same
everywhere. You heard, without a doubt, CBK which gets out really well. I
doubt with 99.9% certainty that it was CBT......Walt.
PS: We also have a few 40 watters on this frequency as well, often heard
in Victoria (and Patrick on the Oregon coast)...that is CBXQ Ucluelet, BC
on the west side of Vancouver Island.
