[Spooks] Looking for help in Toronto

[Charles Frappier]

Hi,

By means of an introduction to the group  (of which I have been a silent
member for a few months), I am starting with a question.

I was wondering if someone could tell me when and where I should tune in to
catch any numbers station at all.
I am located in Toronto, Ontario and not very well-equipped I'm afraid.

I run a S350DL with no antenna other than the built-in one.
I've never actually caught any numbers broadcasts.

And incidentally, it's a pleasure being here.

Thank you,
Charles

Hi,
In North America (at least in Canada), you can also hear M23 which I
suspect it comes from Russia.

antenna, I might be able to detect something else?  What other stations
should I be able to hear?  Also, would testing propagation around sunrise
and sunset help?  Just curious if my problems are equipment related or if
there are just very few broadcasts targeted at the central USA.
