With apologies to the late Phil Rizzuto for the subject line. Geez, wish this was around 50 years ago.  ;D

Thanks for sharing this, Yank...It's a HIT for the Money Store! (You'll either get the 80s TV reference.....
I got it  ;D ;D ;D

My lone Maine & New Hampshire MW catches are Red Sox games - somehow they penetrated the FADS - Flatlander Air Defense System.  I'm going to give this a go, I've done single evenings as an HFU post - I have until early October to complete this exercise.  Thanks for posting radio affiliates, I've peeked at them before.

Thanks Yank! Glad some MW signals made it out from up here behind the Maple Syrup Curtain, unmolested by the FADS picket system. As a Renaissance Man and patron of the fine arts, I suspected you'd understand my reference. Here's another classic Phil Rizzuto homage, while we're (well, I'm) at it:
