[Swprograms] Reception of RCI to Africa

[Ricky Leong <rleong@xxxxxxx>]

Almost perfect reception of Canada Today right now (RCI English to Africa) here 
on 17740, using a 26" whip, Vectronics AT-100 active antenna and a Sony 7600GR. 
(Very decent reception with the radio's own whip.)
I tuned in the middle of an interview with a Reuters reporter about the rioting 
in Paris. This was followed by a report on how peanut butter has revitalized the 
economy of an African village. Then there were a few short news items. Now there 
is a report about Canada wanting to increase immigration.
Looking forward to see how this frequency holds up. It is scheduled to continue 
until 2000 UTC (French programming follows). This is listed as a transmission 
from Sackville, 105 degrees, 250 kW.
