It doesn't matter what radio you get, you are not going to be able to
get what you are looking for on the AM broadcast band. The long
distance reception you may be reading about here are rare events and
are usually audible just well enough to identify and then not for long.
At night, you should be able to get as far north as Washington state on
a fairly regular basis but during the day, forget it.



I agree. The best I could do from here in L.A. is ID a few Canadian
stations, but the signals aren't very listenable. I could pick up a rare
signal east of the Mississippi River (KY and OH), but not much further.
