I've tried to get a BBC World Service schedule from the BBC Web Site
but don't find North America listed. The closest I find is directed
to the Carribean. Am I looking in the wrong place or the the BBC not
direct broadcasts to North America?

Not officially any more but try 5975 in the evenings and you will be fine.

The BBC no longer targets 'North America' specifically. Having said that,
many of the other broadcasts are certainly audible in North America.

The BBC World Service most definitely targets North America, just not
on HF Radio. There is a North American Service available on the
Internet and on Satellite Radio and, as I recall, on an audio
subcarrier on C-Band TVRO.

In an RF Free area,
12.095 works well in the afternoons ...

Since this is a *shortwave radio* newsgroup, my guess is he was probably
refering to shortwave radio though.

I do get it on XM sat radio as well.

The name of the NG is misleading. This is a ''DC to Daylight''
Newsgroup.

''This group is intended to be a place where ANY radio monitoring
topic can and
should be discussed. We are happy to hear from posters who listen to
any part
of the radio or microwave spectrum, from DC to daylight. We discuss
topics of
almost any kind, ranging from (but not limited to) shortwave
broadcasting,
DXing small or distant shortwave stations, utility and teletype
monitoring,
military eavesdropping, station schedules, QSLing sw broadcasters,
spectrum
usage, equipment design and modifications, antennas, receiver reviews
and
recommendations, and many more.

Despite what the newsgroup name might imply, we definitely DO NOT
limit
discussions to shortwave only. Any radio-related topics are welcome.
People interested in scanning VHF frequencies may find that the
rec.radio.scanner newsgroup more accurately reflects their interests,
and
people interested in pirate radio may want to check the
alt.radio.pirate
newsgroup, although this group seems to be more interested in building
small
FM transmitters than in hearing distant shortwave pirates.''

Yes, but there are more appropriate groups for radio interests other
than shortwave.
