This leaves me with yet another AM broadcast question. I'm interested to
find out what 50KW AM broadcast stations http://www.ac6v.com/clearam.htm#USA
(not in your state, or at least 200 miles away) are in fact reliable and
listenable to you ???

NYC: 660 WFAN, 880 WCBS
Chicago: 670 WSCR, 720 WGN, 780 WBBM, 890 WLS, 1000 WMVP
Atlanta: 750 WSB
Detroit: 760 WJR
Fort Worth: 820 WBAP
New Orleans: 870 WWL
Pittsburgh: 1020 KDKA
Des Moines: 1040 WHO
Cleveland: 1100 WTAM
Shreveport: 1130 KWKH
Richmond: 1140 WRVA
Rochester: 1180 WHAM
San Antonio: 1200 WOAI

The following I can also get (weakly) during the *day* he
Cincinnati: 700 WLW, 1530 WSAI
Louisville: 840 WHAS (though Louisville is only about 150 miles)
St. Louis: 1120 KMOX
- and of course: -
Nashville: 650 WSM, 1510 WLAC

I can hear many other of the 50KW AM stations from time time time, but those
three above are almost always relable and listenable here in NJ.

Likewise for this list - there are many other stations (WBZ, WPHT, and
KYW come to mind) that are usually audible here but also frequently
disappear under bad conditions.

And others (like 1260 WSDZ and 570 WWNC) that are almost always present
and identifiable, but nobody would dream of listening to a program on
the interference-laden signal.
