It doesn't matter what radio you get, you are not going to be able to get
what you are looking for on the AM broadcast band. The long distance
reception you may be reading about here are rare events and are usually
audible just well enough to identify and then not for long. At night, you
should be able to get as far north as Washington state on a fairly regular
basis but during the day, forget it.




Yeah, CW's right. 20 - 25 years ago I could catch bits of KFI through WOI
from Chicago every once in a while. Not any more. The old clear channel
stations now have much less nighttime protection than they used to, and it
was always an iffy proposition anyway.
