Huh... For a Graveyard FREQ AM station, not too bad in contour coverage, since some of our Graveyards here are lucky to have 10 mile coverage in the Summer, crappy, soil conductivity, months. THANK YOU Boomer for the FWR link.

The best two statements of advice that I've ever gotten are from my brother-in-law in the early 1990's. 1st one, when I bought a used '89 Olds Cutless, my bro-in-law said, "Congratulations!!! You've just bought a deficit!". The other, was on a work environment, " No matter where you go, it's going to be f***'ed -up!". No truer words have been spoken.

Can hardly watch the video with horrible go-pro stretched video. Why on earth do people film like that? Anyway, I hardly can be surprised. Cairo, IL is perhaps the most infamous decaying "city" in the country. I find the place fascinating though for its history and the general decaying look to the place.
