Re: [IRCA] CBC on 1250

[saulamdx <saulamdx@xxxxxxxxx>]

I can tell you that the CBC's As It Happens is carried
on many NPR stations, and at varying times that do not
coincide with when the CBC might be carrying it. I DX
a lot of FM, and to say this presents a problem with
meteor scatter is an understatement. If you hear the
words "Canadian Broadcasting Corporation" on a meteor
burst on some FM frequencies, it is more more likely
to be an NPR station referencing the Canadian network
as the program's source or producer, than it is to be
a CBC station, which is more likely to say 'CBC'.
Though nothing is ever guaranteed, and it's always
listener beware.

As for an earlier complaint about using terms such as
FF, jargon and shortened versions of common words and
phrases are common in any hobby. I wonder if there is
a web site somewhere that lists some of the terms --
maybe the hams have us DXers beat to that, and out of
simple curiosity I will look later on when I have
time. In lieu of such a list, I think it's perfectly
okay to use these terms, and if someone on the list
doesn't know a term, a polite query can yield a
friendly, helpful response. That's partly what this
list is for. FF means French, or Français if you
prefer. There, my French-language education hasn't
gone completely to waste. I wonder if the 'cedille'
beneath the 'c' will be viewable. I pressed alt-135
for that.
