WRMI is operating 100kW with a 315 degree beam which they claim is targeting Canada (zones 2 and 3) but it is obvious they are targeting 
the US (which is illegal).   A "commercial" shortwave station in the US 
must be careful to not carry commercials that target US listeners.  The way the rules are written, any commercials carried on SW must target foreign listeners only.
