27.0. "Canadian Short-Wave Broadcasts" by CRAZY8::SLATER (Bachelor's wives & old maid's kids.) Mon Nov 16 1987 22:40

	For anyone living in Southern New Hampshire and interested in 
	Canadian news and sports, you might try listening on short-wave.

	Radio Canada International broadcasts every day at various times and
	on various frequencies, to the U.S. and to Europe.  Of particular note 
	are the "World at Six" and "As it Happens", broadcast every night at 
	18:00 and 21:00 local time in English, and in French at 19:00 local 
	time.  Also, on Sunday mornings you can catch the regular "Sunday 
	Morning" programme.

	You can write to them for a programme schedule at

		Radio Canada International
		P.O. Box 6000,
		Montreal, Quebec,
		Canada	H3C 3A8

	For sports, you can pick up CFCX, the CFCF Montreal (AM 60) 
	short-wave rebroadcast on 6005 kHz in the 49 meter band, 
	24 hours a day.  The 49 meter band gets pretty busy at night,
	however.

	Another station that you can pick up from time to time is
	CFRX, the CFRB Toronto short-wave rebroadcast on 6070 kHz in
	the 49 meter band.

	And finally, there's CHNX, the CHNS Halifax short-wave rebroadcast 
	on 6130 kHz in the 49 meter band, although I haven't had much luck 
	picking this station up.

	Happy listening,

	Marc
