Toronto's AM 74 comes in pretty good here in New York City at night,
even on the cheap clock radio I use for overnight listening.

They have very good audio for a skywave MW station a few hundred miles
away.

I remember back in the mid 1960's when I used to listen to Jean
Shepherd on WOR 710 at 10:15 PM and then to the CBC radio drama around
11:05 P.M. usually on "CBL" which had 740 before the Ceeb abandonned
medium wave in Toronto. (occassionally on "CBM", another lost CBC MW
outlet)

(I put the call letters in quotes because they violate international
treaty - CB = Chile.)

Listeners west of the Rockies will usually find KCBS, San Francisco,
on this freq, especially at night. As I understand it they've been
there since the 30s, when they were KQW. Before that, it was none
other than radio pioneer Charles Herrold's experimental station,
broadcasting from San Jose. (The building he was using-the tallest one
in town 90 years ago-has long since disappeared, although one guy told
me that he remembered going to see it in the 60s. A small sign on
downtown San Jose's historic tour marks the site now-a sign so small
that you have to look for it to see it. However, several photos of
Herrold's setup can be seen on the walls at the Fry's in Sunnyvale.
Also, the local historical museum features the only known recording of
his voice, done a couple years before he died.) To get an idea of how
much of a pioneer he was, he started in 1909, long before ANY
regulations governed broadcasting AT ALL. The road from then to now
was a rocky one, with the US Supreme Court ruling at one point that
radio regulation was unconstitutional, which created havoc on the
airwaves. It wasn't until government was greatly expanded by FDR that
broadcast regulations were fully accepted.

I believe that Canada only has the second half of the C series, from
CL or so on. Since Chile, like most nations, has abandoned call
letters, the point is really moot. Only the US and places historically
under its direct influence still use them, including Canada, Mexico,
the Philippines, and Japan. Most places just use names. Up until WW2,
call letters were common. But after the war they were abandoned.
Possibly the Soviets led the way, and the rest of the socialists
followed.
