MW Daytime DX
 

The sun is low, the sun is quiet, and daytime MW is pretty spectacular

WFAN 660 NYC is booming in in Central Ohio at noon. Well, not booming
in, but easily above the noise. You have to null away locals on the
same frequency.

(they give the station and the time, a handy instant to show)

That's something under 500 miles eastward.

On the internet, nobody knows you're a jerk.

That is a good haul for noon.

That it is. I've seen similar reports this week - sure wish the AM in
my car radio worked...

A few years back, while travelling through central Kansas this time of
year, the Chicago 50kw clears (then-WMAQ; WGN; WBBM) were blasting in at
2pm. Pretty impressive. Here, I've heard WBAP Fort Worth at high noon
but pretty weak and on a 400-foot BOG.

Yep, this is a good time of the year to be doing some MW DXing. CBW in
Winnipeg (990 kHz) comes in very well during the daytime here in Edmonton.
A few Washington state stations also seem to come in quite well across
the Rockie Mountains. Now if I could only find and eliminate a severe
noise pest then I could really put the KIWA loop to good use.

If I get KGO at Noon here in L.A. County I'm all atwitter.
