Don,
Just a heads up on your 750,
that S9+20 was with just the rotating ferrite bar on top of the radio,
the whip is only in use on SW, FM, and VHF air.
For LW/MW, the rotating ferrite bar is used unless you plug an external antenna
into the jack on the backside of the bar. The jack is of the shorting type and
it disconnects the bar when an external antenna is plugged in.
(It also appears to disconnect the RF amp probably so as not to
overload the radio on strong AM signals when an external antenna is used).
On mine, the INT/EXT antenna switch on the side of the radio has no affect on LW/MW.
The 750 is a unique portable because it has the nice feature of provision for
external antennas on all bands. Most portables don't allow for an external
LW/MW antenna.
The owners manual is rather vague about all this, it took me a while to
sort it all out.

Good Lord, you are correct PV - the amazing thing is I was rotating the antenna as I was logging this in . Incredible - Guess I should've left the Woodford Reserve in the bottle that night !

Don,
WPHT is the big blaster on 1210 at night but just wondering if you have ever heard
WJNL on that channel ? It is an omnidirectional 50kw daytimer located near
Traverse City MI. Have never heard WJNL here in southern MI but maybe you can receive
via propagation over Lake Michigan.
