750 khz @ 18:50 utc 3 Feb. 19 (12:50 cst local ). Not that unusual to pick up a station from only 168 miles away but kind of interesting it was able to get thru with a S10+ at noonish with 15kw and fight its way thru the massive Chicago airwaves located 1/2 way between the TX and RX sites using only the 750's ferrite core antenna.

(That has to be the longest run-on sentence ever)

You rarely hear AM's with that kind of format these days.

There used to be an AM station on 1700 kHz in McAllen, TX. that played both an AOR and an ancient top forty format. It was sold to ESPN in I think 2015?

The "Voice of The Lower Rio Grande Valley" had to make way for insipid sports talk. Sad.
