Hello, I am a long-time lurker, but a first-time poster. I live in an area where it is not uncommon to get stations on almost every frequency. None of the stations run HD radio, most of them are only Class A, and there aren't that many locals either.

This is a log covering around two months of DXing in Manistee, Michigan. I used a Grundig S350DL and a stock car radio to log all of these catches.

Almost never. But it would be good. I have one local graveyard AM (WMTE) and a few 50kW stations that can usually be listened to. In fact, the second strongest station in my area is WTMJ from Milwaukee, almost 140 miles away. I can't usually receive the graveyard AM (WKLA) from Ludington, 20 miles away.

Can you get daytime reception of any Chicago stations up there?
Can you hear WIND 560AM?
 
I can usually get WSCR, WGN, WBBM, WLS, and WYLL from Chicago 24/7. WIND is a little harder than those five.
 
To radioman148: I forgot about WMVP on accident.

Anyways, I have picked up additional stations in the last couple of days:
92.7 - WYVN - Saugatuck, MI
98.1 - WLKN - Cleveland, WI (over semi-local WGFN)
98.3 - unID station playing "Losing My Religion" by REM around Noon EDT on 8/27
98.7 - WMDC - Mayville, WI
103.7 - WHYB - Menominee, MI
106.5 - WVFM - Kalamazoo, MI
106.9 - WJZX - Brookfield, WI (was more common until WLGE signed on last year)
107.7 - WRKR - Portage, MI
