Very Good Reception
2309 OM detailing story on opening 75th season of baseball, 50th of American League. That would make this a broadcast from mid-April 1951. OM must be using NL and AL inception dates of 1876 and 1901, respectively. MLB recognizes start of professional baseball as 1869.

Excellent reception. Notable on two counts - they just returned to the air after a hiatus, they are about 80 miles due west with maybe 1,000 watts of power. Good to hear an AM is coming back on air. I used to listen to them decades ago hoping school was cancelled due to snow.
