[Swprograms] RCI explains, sorta

[Ricky Leong <rleong@xxxxxxx>]

I received a mass e-mail message from RCI Audience Relations this 
morning relating to the revised schedules that went into effect last 
week. One paragraph of interest:
"Shortwave frequencies for the Americas were changed to cover our 
intended targets, and the retransmission of CBC and Radio-Canada 
programming was moved from shortwave to our website, as our domestic 
services are widely distributed by other means in North America, 
including Sirius Satellite Radio."
My thoughts: If you read between the lines of the message and look at 
the frequencies in use in North America, cities in the Quebec 
City-Windsor corridor have become part of the "intended targets" and the 
northeast U.S. is now simply a spillover zone. RCI would have done 
better to use a frequency in the 13 MHz or 15 MHz to properly cover the 
continent.
