This leaves me with yet another AM broadcast question. I'm interested to
find out what 50KW AM broadcast stations http://www.ac6v.com/clearam.htm#USA
(not in your state, or at least 200 miles away) are in fact reliable and
listenable to you ???



As a native Minnesotan, one thing that I've always found disappointing
is that WCCO (830 kHz) doesn't seem to get out as well as other clear
channel stations. Last week, I was road tripping, and as we rolled into
Escanaba, MI, I found I was able to get KYW, KDKA, WBZ, WHAS, and others
without trouble, but nothing on 830.

I'm wondering... do others find that WCCO is a more difficult catch than
other clear channels?


(P.S. I should probably mention that back in 1986, I was able to listen
to WCCO's Gopher football broadcast on a walkman in the Liberty Bowl
stadium in Memphis, TN, while watching the Gophers play that game live.
So it would seem that "CCO's signal got out better in the past.)
