I am always stunned on how well their signal is received up here, even before sunset.  In the pre-game (0025z), I heard Charlie Slowes mention Strassburg was off the DL but Scherzer was going on, maybe missing only 1 start.  I fell asleep during the game.  If the Yanks and Mets can't be in the Series - I always hope it is then teams (except the Red Sox  ;)) with 50,000 watt transmissions I can receive, maybe Nats/Tribe this year?

On a quasi-related note.  My younger son has gone to school/worked in five US metropolitan areas (excluding NY) that host six MLB teams.  We attended a game in each of those six parks.  One Christmas he hands me a box, it's six baseball caps from the home teams we saw.  I'm all set, I already have a Nats & Tribe cap.

Excellent reception now (8/20/17), an hour before sunset, over 300 miles away

2250z "Fly ball to DeAza and he makes the catch.  Ground ball to Zimmerman and he takes it to the base, two outs on two pitches.  Padres have action in the pen.  Three-one Nationals in the sixth."
2309z  Fan sings "God Bless America" in the middle of the 7th.


Skipmunk - What a great map - the rivalry and radio.  There's no crying in baseball, Skippy.   ;D
