Picking up KYW 1060 in Chicago (650+ Miles away!!)

W

From time to time I like to DX. I was born and raised in Philly and so therefore am no stranger to KYW. Moved to north side Chicago for school and was driving my pick up truck up Lakeshore Drive (along Lake Michigan) and decided to scan around the AM band. Landed on 1060 to hear the familiar jingle and the ID for KYW and couldn't believe it. Not only was the signal consistent, but I was able to pick it up driving away from the lake back into the city all the way to my apartment without the signal completely dropping. Only station interfering was some station in St. Joseph, MI that powers down to 1.5 watts at night. KYW easily overpowered it though. I do have video of it including the traffic jingle, currently editing it down for time. Time was about 9:50pm CDT (10:50pm Eastern).
 
KYW was always a regular all over the Midwest when I lived there. Nothing in Chicago to interfere with it, AFAIK.
