Far northwest suburban Chicago....
Days: Another battle of weak signals. WJOL from Joliet, IL and WJYS from Milwaukee. Both are about 60 miles from me. WJYS generally gets the better of it, but not by much. I attribute that to the signal path being more urban between here and Joliet, but more rural between here and Milwaukee. Whatever. The two are both weak enough that I can null one and hear the other.
Nights: 1340 is my favorite graveyard channel. As often as not something breaks through. The three most recent new catches for me (this past spring) were WSOY from Decatur, IL, KROS from Clinton, IA, and KROC from Rochester, MN.
Other Locations: One of my more interesting catches this winter was daytime skywave from KQDE from Evergreen, Montana on the St. Paul Alberta SDR. Weak but alone and listenable from a distance of more than 300 miles.
I also get a similar distance hop daytime via saltwater at our vacation spot near Pensacola, FL from WTAN out of Clearwater. Again, a very weak signal but alome, rerliable, and listernable.
Finally, during my college days in southeast Iowa, I made repeated attempts to catch the Milwaukee 1340. Which in those days was legendary top-40 WRIT. It took me until my junior year, but one early Monday morning, I finally snagged it.
