[NJARC] Oldies station in Ontario

[Al Klase]

Joe and the Gang,

AM 900, CHML, Hamilton, Ontario, is nice and loud here in Jersey City as 
I type.  They have a news-talk format, but go to old radio shows at 10 PM.
See:  http://www.900chml.com/old-radio-shows/

Out in the country (Western NJ)  I could listen to them on a modest 
crystal set.

Take a listen,
Al
