Growing up in North Torrance (South of Los Angeles 1956-1972) I had the
misfortune of having KNX, 1070 AM, running 50,000 watts 2-3/4 miles from
the house. And again when I moved back home (1989-2009.)
A crystal radio would hear KNX over the entire dial.
BCB DXing on any radio was out of the question.

There was ONE notable exception to that however.
The original main antenna (circa 1936) was destroyed by vandals on September
14, 1965.
That didn't last for long though.

I didn't fare any better with the house I bought (1975-1989) which was 3-1/2
miles to the East of KNX.

Currently in Ranger Texas, the closest AM broadcast tower is KROO, 1430 and
running a "blazing" 640 watts. They're 27-1/4 miles from the house.
Also, there's KWBY 98.5 FM running 5800 watts 8-3/4 miles away.
