OK, using your criteria, here is my list. I'm in the SW corner of
Michigan.
Eliminating the Chicago stations, which I get boomingly (but they're
only 80 miles away across the lake), and the Detroit stations (c. 140
miles), and leaving out the stations I can get consistently - but with
only poor, choppy audio, leaves me with this list. It's interesting to
note that while I can get everyone of the New York City 50k stations,
all of them save the one on the list are very weak. These results are
all after dark:
WSM Nashville 650
CNIF Montreal, 690 (all French)
WLW Cincinnati 700
WSB Atlanta 750 (always very strong)
CIGM Sudbury, Ont. 790
WHAS Lousisville 840
CHML Hamilton, Ont. 900
WWL New Orleans 870 (always VERY strong - must use directional antenna)
WGY 810 Schenectady 810
WCCO 830 Minneapolis
WCBS 880 New York
KDKA Pittsburgh 1020
WHO Des Moines 1040
KYW Philadelphia 1060
WTIC Hartford 1080
KMOX St. Louis 1120
WHAM Rochester, NY 880
WBT Charlotte 1110
WLAC Nashville 1510
WSAI Cinncinatti 1530
KYEL Waterloo, IA. 1540
Some of these would not be terribly pleasant lisening, (staticy) but
all are consistenly steady, clear signals at night, ID is easy. As I
said above, I left out about a dozen I can get well sometimes, barely at
all others.

Hi Tony,
I can get more or less the same group, except for those which are adjacent
to the Chicago clear channels. I can also get WBZ quite clearly and
reliably. Do you have local interference on 1030?

Hi Frank:
Nope, the closest thing would be WCFL in Chicago, and that's far
enough away with good selectivity on my radios to be no problem. I can
*get* WBZ almost any night - but it's the exception that I get it clear
and steady. This bugs me, because as a kid in Detroit (140 miles closer
to WBZ) I could get it after dark as strong as a local station, and they
always "broke" Beatles records before
any of the Detroit stations :D My friends thought I was clarivoyant
when I'd tell them what the next Beatles hit was going to be, and that's
how it turned out. I recall the DJ being some guy who called himself
"Juicy Brucie Bradley", and some campaign to have sandwiches renamed
"shrewsburys". Thanks for the trip down memory lane!
PS: IIRC, from the few times I've heard and ID'd it here, they have
different
programming today - but that's no suprise.
Tony
