This was surprising. I was listening to the Orioles/Yanks on WBAL last night

when I turned radio off. As I turned it on this morning at 7a edt, reception was booming in. Flamethrower WTIC 1080 am Hartford (25 miles away) will generally obscure them until nightfall. WBAL is about 325 miles away from my home. Oddly, no reception from WPHT 1210 am in Philadelphia somewhat closer. Sunrise at my qth 1009 utc, Baltimore 1028 utc. Very good reception.
