Do you ever hear KBAP Texas?

I've heard WBAP Dallas and WOAI San Antonio.


That's right, my bad - the two big Texas "W"s west of the
Mississippi. I used to hear them quite well from Massachusetts 35
years ago. From California - not so much.

Massachusetts was a great place to hear AM BCB DX. I managed to get
almost every state in the lower 48, including California and
Washington, plus a bunch of Canadians across the prairie, on a Radio
Shack portable using just the internal ferrite bar. Everything east of
the Rockies was a cinch. Had I know then how to loop a wire aorund the
radio for added induction, who knows what else I could have grabbed.

Nobody aims their signals thisaway, I guess...

I can't hardly pick up any long distance AM stations in the day time.Too
much hash on the air.It isn't like the old days.

When I was a kid growing up near Phoenix I could DX all of N. America on
an All American 5 tube superhet (with 100' of wire inductively coupled
to the loop). I listened to WLS regularly, and could get many Eastern
Seabord stations, e.g. WBZ, WIBG, etc., when conditions were right.

When you could only own a handful of stations you were much more
protective of your spectrum and much more original in your programming.
Group ownership of too many stations has turned the product into audio
junk food.

Default The death of AM radio in digital

Night times, on the AM band, even with some of my cheap radios, I used
to pick up a station in New York City, and Minneapolis and San Francisco
and Seattle and Miami and Denver and quite a few other long distance AM
stations in America, and Monterey,Mexico and Havana,Cuba, I think I once
picked up a station somewhere in Canada too.Too much damn crap screwing
up things nowadays/nowanights.
