Don't forget the powerhouse WCCO on 830kc in Coon Rapids Minnesota. That
would be 15 miles south of me.

Just got bounced off your e-mail again..... must be really exclusive - hi !

NDBs of note: or those running some power and in this direction.
It's very easy to hear the Cdn NDBs because of their 400 HZ offset.
Not necessarily close - but big power (Kw) would be
248 kHz    UL / Montreal   and if your lucky  WG - Winnipeg,
to check out propagation towards Lyle and Mike.
245 kHz  YZE   Gore Bay on Manitoulin Island in Lake Huron.
326 kHz   VV   Wiarton (100 miles North) 400 watts.
346 khz   YXL   Sioux Lookout....past Lake Superior and
North of Lyle and Mike.... but VE7SL hears it well.

AM Broadcast

Reasonably "clear" channel
550 kHZ WGR   Buffalo, NY
740 kHz    Toronto (50s & 60s music) good signal.
760 khz  WJR Detroit  (I have copied them in the car in Florida,
Montana and Oregon.
780 khz   WBBM Chicago
and 1500 kHz KSTP Minneapolis/St.Paul ( listened to while serving
on High Arctic Weather stations in the 50s ! !)

Weather looks good for next few days, so will be cutting coax !
