Todd,

Yes I do also hear some AM under DIW.  DIW is stronger here than CLB.  
But it's half the distance so that's expected.

Seems like everyone has a R75 but me :)   Guess I'll put that on my list 
of things to get that I really don't need.  Now that heating oil prices 
are so high I'm saving so much more by heating with wood I can afford a 
new radio!  How's that for ham logic?
