Nice to see somebody had a chance to DX.

Many of those used to be heard regularly before the band got so crowded. And of course, before IBOC.

Here are a couple of useful utilities for Great Circle Distance.

Different day, same kind of results. I have AM 740 out of Toronto as a car radio preset, hit it at 8 p.m. Wednesday and it was coming in quite clear as I left downtown Grand Rapids. Listened to "Sentimental Journey" music as I ran an errand, then tuned in the Yankees game on WCBS/NYC. A bit scratchier but it was easy to tell what was going on. Clicking down to WWL at 870, I could not pull New Orleans with any real result.

Here in northeast Michigan WCBS has been BOOMING in at night lately - I've listened to the latter parts of the Yankees games the past few nights with crystal clear reception throughout.
