What's nice is that you can listen to Coast To Coast AM on this station. And, since it's on-air 24/7, it makes for a great 49M propagation beacon.

is like a very long cat. You yank his tail in New York and he
meows in Los Angeles. Do you understand this? Now, radio is
exactly the same, except that there is no cat.”

Customarily sporadic reception here in South Central Wisconsin - not sure why as I'm only 434 miles from Toronto .  CFRX has always been a crap-shoot re: intelligibility of signal.
