Here in Sactown, back in the late 80s, heard Trans World Radio, 800 khz,
Bonaire(as clear as a Radio Netherlands broadcast)on a Realistic car receiver!
Got home, and tried to tune it in on a Panasonic RF-2200 (my main s.w. rig of
that time), and nothing. Went back out to the car, and heard nothing but
ststic.

I've heard 730khz XEX Mexico City here in Milwaukee with a cheapie Walmart boom
box with it's filters wide as a barn door.

From my location on central Vancouver Island on Feb 12, 1996 at 615
UTC I heard HJCY Bogota , Columbia on 810 kHz. It was a strange
night as KGO usually booms in here. There was not a trace of KGO.
What I did hear was a station jingle and "Radio Caracol". Was using
a GE Superradio and no external antenna. I heard them poorly under
KGO again in Nov but not since.

My strangest AM radio experience was in the early 1970's on a
hike down the west coast trail on Vancouver Island. I got up a bit
before sunrise and moved down the beach so as not to disturb those
still sleeping. I pulled out my trusty RS Flavor radio (Lime) to get
the news. There were no North American stations audible. But the
band was full from end to end with Japanese stations.
