I hate to say it but your best option is live audio on the internet.

Chainsawed computer box coming up next?

Hehehehehe ;-)

If I say you can sit in LA and listen to New York on AM on it would you
buy it?
Hey, if it weren't for that darn fibre-optic cable you could dial a
number in New York City and get a solid copper wire connection to use as
an antenna!

300 to 400 miles is possible in the daytime..................here in
Chicago, I can hear WLW, on 700kHz, all day. Even when I was living in Cedar
Rapids, I could still pull in that station, along with CFCO, in Chatham,
Ontario, on 630kHz. On 610kHz, I could pull in either Kansas City, Mo. or
Colombus, Ohio. This was daytime reception. Back here in Chicago, I can pull
in the 524kHz beacon from Iowa City. Other daytime stations are 760kHz,
Detroit, 810kHz, Kansas City, Mo, 830kHz, WCCO, and 870kHz, Grand Rapids,
Michigan.
Once you get a system that can hear down into the atmospheric noise, things
change. Once, at a hamfest at the Amana Colonies, back in Iowa, I laid down
210 feet of wire on the ground. On the LW band, every few kHz there were
stations. On MW, all of the Chicago stations came in with no noise. WLW was
coming in at S9 +10dB.
