40 miles northwest of downtown Chicago.....
Days: Splatter from local blowtorch WSCR.
Nights: Here's where 680 starts getting interesting. For the past year or two, CJOB (Winnipeg) has been strong enough to break through the WSCR splatter on most nights. No small feat. Especially since AFIK, CJOB isn't even supposed to be here in the first place. Prior to CJOB becoming a regular, I used to occasionally hear WCTT from Corbin, KY. All 830 watts of it....with a not exactly favorable pattern. Which is why I referred to it as "The little blowtorch".
Other Location: At our beach place on the Gulf near Pensacola, 680 daytime is a weak, but listenable WGES from St. Petersburg. Another miniature blowtorch. 800 watts that makes the 300-plus mile hop across the Gulf. Nights are usually a battle between WCNN (Atlanta) and WMFS (Memphis). WCNN typically gets the better of it.
