Hi Group,

I live in the Buffalo, New York area and how well I remember tuning to 
get AM DX.  I could go in to great detail about which radios I used and 
how many and under what circumstances I received which stations, but 
that would be very involved and would take a very large post.  I will 
say that the farthest station I received would have been KFI Los Angeles 
at 640 kHz.  I used to be able to receive them after midnight during the 
winters when a station in Ohio left the air.  Two things happened to 
make this impossible since the early 1980's.  The Ohio station went 24 
hours and Castro decided to put a 50 KW station on 640.  I don't 
remember which came first, but gone are the days of receiving KFI since 
then.

Take care.
