Usuals in North America:
- Laser Hot Hits/Coast FM/whatever might be the current relay from Ireland 6205
- Reflections Europe 6295
- Focus 6285
- Johnny Tobacco under various names
- Mustang Radio

Others are infrequent, mainly because Europeans close down too early from American point of view.

This is generally only an issue during the long summer days, and not in other seasons
