Cool. That will stop me from wasting time on West Coast stations pushing most of their signal at tuna boats north of Midway.

Thanks, it is really great. Supports my thoughts earlier in the year of WOR pushing a lot of their signal into the Atlantic compared to other NYC 50k broadcasters.
Tecsun H501x (broadcast received on this unless noted), Zenith T/O G500, Zenith T/O Royal 7000, Emerson AR-176, Zenith 8S154, T/O 7G605 (Bomber), Tecsun PL-600, Tecsun PL-880, Zenith 5S320, Realistic DX 160 using 40 feet of copper wire.  With apologies to Senator Gramm for his thoughts on firearms, "I have more radios than I need but not as many as I want."
