Ace, here in South Florida, the MW DX sucks due to all the damn Cuban
stations being on almost every frequency and blasting north. *Plus, all the
local stations seem to be on every frequency 24/7 also! *Used to pull in 880
WCBS very well, even over the Cuban, now a station in Miami is using 880,
calling itself "The Biz", and now I can barely pick up NYC! *Same thing with
WPHT 1210, Cuban AND a Miami station on the frequency! *Would love to pick
up some Canadian AM/NE stations and anything west of the Mississippi! *Only
good DX was above 1600 when I got St. Thomas.


Surely you can pickup the "Big One - 700 WLW" .....correct? Of course
I know it's 50,000 watt - I was just wondering.


Yes, we can hear WLW here in Michigan. No HD interference on that
frequency yet.

I could hear a station in Spanish on 730 kHz for a while then it faded
out. I would not mind hearing a few Cubans, What frequencies are the
strongest?

You could try CFZM on 740 if clear. Its a 50KW oldies station in
Toronto. It is strong here.
