MD,

Back in the early 1960s I managed to receive "WBZ" in Boston using a
Hitachi TH-812 (TRF AM/MW Portable Radio) with an outboard
'inductively coupled' Tunable Ferrite Rod Antenna Feed by a 65 Foot
Random Wire Antenna.

NOTE: This took me two winter seasons to log this DX catch.

Hiya....

After a few good threads on MW DX'ing, there has been some great info on
some of the AM broadcast "catches" that others have managed to get. There
was also a few posts regarding what AM radios are good for hearing far away
AM radio stations. As was pointed out in a previous post to a poster that
has asked the question of "what AM radio to buy", most of the AM DX'ing that
is being reported on is unreliable and usually too messy to listen to.

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 ???

Mine from North NJ are (after sundown):

840 kHz WHAS Louisville, KY

1100 kHz WTAM Cleveland, OH

1110 kHz WBT Charlotte, NC

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.
Especially, WBT.
