I used to live up i Northern MI during the 60s and 70s.....granted a much different world back then...but what a quiet place to listen from. Back then, I had one local on am at 1290, FM was 98.5 and 106.7...ok throw in 92.9 from Cadillac too.
I heard so much on my old DX-160 on MW back then. WLW was always there weak but there. At night, it was always fun. I managed to knock out 40+ states up there. I never got to hear the old KORL on 650, but I tried and tried.
Ahh, that quiet radio dial before everyone got flea power and night and before a translator was on every FM channel!
