Excellent reception

I did not expect to pick up our weekend-morning-only Oldies station (WMMW) 15 miles away before sunrise, but I did not expect to get sterling reception of anything else.  After a little research, I discovered the only station on 1470 am
near me with Rush Limbaugh scheduled at this hour is 5,000 watt day/ 43 watts night (per various radio websites) WJDY in Salisbury, MD.  Sunrise at my qth is 1115 utc.

1035 Rush Limbaugh talking about impeachment inquiry
1049 Limbaugh talking about Andrew McCabe
1059 ID Automated YL "Newsradio 1470 Salisbury"
