**Note: Weather conditions play a VERY big role in what detectors can be heard. On a good day, many can be heard, while on a bad day, you won't hear any. Canadian detectors are typically a lot more likely to be heard than detectors on the US side (due to the stream host's location), but again, this all depends on the conditions.
