Are there Canadian weather brodcasts on VHF? NOAA is a U.S. government
agency.

Will there be ANY broadcasts on VHF after the BIG one?

But presumably because there existed dedicated receivers for
those weather broadcasts in the US, Canada followed. So there is a chain
of weather broadcast stations here in Canada using the same frequencies as in
the US.

Of course, the location reference was that shortwave reception wasn't
particularly useful in the US (so yes, properly it would have made sense
to use "North America" there), since in North America the shortwave
stations are generally not news sources.

Get off your ass, or start repaying your debt to the USofA.

Heck, I actually like Israel and the IDF. I spent some time in the 70's there...
but it's time to cut the cord and get on with it.

One thing's for sure - I am not going to defend the behaviour of
Israel (I cannot get my head around the fact that a country based on
the experience of the Nazis can turn round and be Nazis). But I have
to say that having someone like "dxAxe" prattle on as if he
represents America is sickening. America and Israel have a lot in
common when it comes to the way that they treat their neighbours.

I am very thankful that I do not live in Central America or anywhere
bordering Israel. I do acknowledge that the British are pretty much
responsible for creating the mess in and around Israel. American
foreign policy creates their messes - over and over again from Korea
to Iraq (and soon Iran).

Pot kettle!
