New one this morning: 750 WPDX Clarksburg, WV. (1 KW daytimer) caught just before WNDZ signed on, weak with classic c/w music.  No sign of WSB.  1154 UTC, 405 miles.

Nice one!  I've never even heard of that station. 

The best I've ever had on 750 was Melfort, SK, and that about floored me when I caught it!  I also had what I suspect was a Spanish-language Texan, but never got a definite ID.  I still count the Sask station as the best on that frequency for me, though.

Around your local sunrise, keep an ear open for country music on 750. KHWG "K-Hog" from Fallon, NV. can often be heard when they "forget" to power down from the night before (seems to happen a lot).  I didn't hear them this morning, but for a while they were a very common sunrise catch here just before WNDZ signs on the air.
