40 or so miles northwest of downtown Chicago.....
Days: 1370 is usually pretty quiet. My location is just out of the normal range of WLTH from Gary, IN. 1kw Non directional daytime. I can sometimes hear WLTH in winter on the Superadio II. But that's rare. Lots of urban geography between me and Northwest, Indiana.
Nighrs: Most nights WSPD from Toledo is on top with a fair signal, but prone to fades. During those fades, KDTH from Dubuque, Iowa is most likely to sneak in, Both WSPD and KDTH are 5kw, but neither one has a pattern that favors me.
Sunrise: My latest catch on 1370 was just this past week, KWRT from Boonville, MO (between Kansas City and Columbia, MO. About an hour before local sunset (here). Presumably on 1kw ND day power.
Other Location: At Hawaii Gar's suggestion, I did some DXing at Honeymoon Island, near Clearwater, FL. Around 10am on a bright sunny day with the Superadio. 5kw WCOA from Pensacola made the 300+ mile hop across thd Gulf of Mexico and was audible with a positive ID under the local on 1380.
It's a two-way street. On the beach at P-cola, The 5kw Tampa Bay 1380 (ex-WLCY) is audible with WCOA nulled.
