[NJARC] Oldies station in Ontario

[Al Klase]

Joe,

On second thought, CHML probably won't be strong in Maine.



Their night-time directional antenna is pretty much aimed directly at 
NYC, with not much in your direction.

From: http://radio-locator.com/cgi-bin/patg?id=CHML-AM&s=F&h=N

An outside wire will help a lot, or an inside tuned loop or a radio with 
a built in loop may be the answer.
