Before I moved to Calgary, I enjoyed listening to Radio Six International from 
WBCQ on 5105 kHz on my days off from work. I really liked the wide, eclectic 
range of music played. Sadly, that frequency doesn't make it out here at all, 
from what I can tell.

Something else on WBCQ that I used to listen to was the "American Viewpoint" 
block on Sunday evening from 6 to 7 p.m. ET. on 7415 kHz. Two programs were 
slotted there: Making Contact and Counterspin. These programs are blatantly 
left-of-centre and are certainly a good mind jog, whether you agree with the 
message or not. I haven't tried to catch this block since I moved, and I don't 
think propagation is on my side.

Of course, there is the DX-block on WWCR 5070 kHz from 0200-0400 UTC on Sunday. 
(No need to explain why I listen, I suppose!) At present, that frequency is no 
good here until well into Radio Weather, and even then it's barely listenable.
