CBU uses a 50 kW transmitter, and the station is approximately 800 miles from me. This station was received by my Eton E5 with no external antenna. I previously logged this station during my <a href="http://cobaltpet.blogspot.com/2006/12/mediumwave-logs-autumn-2006.html">autumn 2006 mediumwave DX project</a>.<br /><br />The signal is strong and clear, and currently features a show with an eclectic music selection. For example, a Paul Anka song was followed by "Woman from Tokyo" by Deep Purple. According to <a href="http://www.cbc.ca/">www.cbc.ca</a>, this show is "In the key of Charles", hosted by Gregory Charles. At times, he plays a piano and sings along. I like it! I don't think I've ever heard a radio show like this before.<div class="blogger-post-footer">... This article was authored by weatherall and was originally posted to http://cobaltpet.blogspot.com/ .
