On a simple map I roughly conculated that the distance is 800-1000
miles
away. However, if I am able to pick up that far away on a medium wave
am band, I should be able to pick up a lot of other stations by area.

Interesting list. I recall getting Air America out of the Fresno on 790
rather than KABC. There is also a station at 550 you can hear in the
bay area.

I check the color alert on NASA AMES TIS on 1700 once in a while, but
you have to hit it before that annoying Mexican station fires up.
