quite strong.....

I should hope so...you're in their home market! :)

Exactly what I was gong to post, but ya beat me to it, Mike! One
would hope you're getting a good strong signal from a 50,000W station in
your home town ;)

I don't usually monitor Am broadcast band, but have wondered of late
whether
some of the stations I used to hear as kid were still out there to
pluck
out
of the air :

KDKA Pittsburg, Who Des Moines are two that come to mind.


WHO in Des Moines - a prize catch to a kid in Detroit with a 5 tube
Admiral table radio forty years ago - is still right where it always
was, too.

When I was a kid I remember listening to WOWO, I think it was in Indiana
WWV Wheeling West VA.
WPTR Albany, NY
WKBW Buffalo, NY
KAAY Little Rock, Ark
KDKA, Pittsburg PA
WFIL, Philadelphia PA.
WLS, Chicago, Ill. just to name a few.
Another station I heard was in Salt Lake City, UT, but I can't remember the
station call but if memory serves me correctly, I listened to Larry King on
that station, but not sure.
But my favorite station at that time was WBZ Boston, I loved listening to
the Larry Glick show. Easy catch since I lived 136 miles north.

Ah, WBZ!! I listened to it at night regularly in the mid-1960's.
The DJ was named "Juicy" Brucie Bradley, and they had an ongoing
campaign to rename "sandwiches" to "Shrewsburys". They always premiered
new chart-climbers about 2-3 weeks before any of the stations in my area
(Detroit). It was an easy catch at night even on my
cigarette-pack-sized transistor radio.

You also mentioned WOWO in Fort Wayne. That was one I could get
daytime on the five-tube, if conditons were right. The excitement of
getting a station from *that far away!!* (yeah - it was all of 150 miles
:) is what hooked me on DX, which logically led to shortwave the
following year.

Larry Glick makes a guest appearance once or twice a year on WBZ on the
Steve Levielle Broadcast 12-5a. Steve posts his upcoming guests on his
site radiosteve.com. Usually, barring funky ionospheric conditions, here
in Detroit WBZ's night blowtorch is stronger than most of the locals.
Somewhere in the basement I have a short aircheck of Dick Summer on BZ
from Christmastime of some unknown long ago year.
With CKLW off the past few overnights, WGY 810 Schenectady is Q-5.
I used to listen to WOWO as a kid in the early 60s, because it played
music on Sunday nights, while the local stations did public service
talkers or religious programs.

I to remember Juicy Bruce Bradley, listening to him on my tiny Ross
Transistor Radio. (Which I still have). But I don't remember the campaign to
rename the sandwich. Must of been before I started listening on a regularly.

Most of my listening was done on my Crosley Console MW and SW complete with
78 rpm phonograph. I wish I still had that old radio. I've never ever seen
another one like it. Someone left it out on the side of the road as trash,
and my brother and I carried it home and cleaned it up and it worked
perfectly.
