I knew if I was patient enough, I could hear Des Moines, Iowa, despite the strong and annoying CKST out of nearby Vancouver, B.C., on the same frequency. As the “Our American Stories” program returned from ads, I heard part of Copland’s “Fanfare for the Common Man” cut through CKST’s talk, which matched the SDR audio of WHO from Kansas City.

The station’s audio continued to bubble up to audible levels at times to mix with CKST and KXPD (a low-power station near Portland, Oregon, that runs China Radio International programming). Distance from here to WHO is about 1,460 miles.

Nice work.
If you would like a similar challenge, try for 50kw KMOX AM 1120 St. Louis  MO (if you haven't already).
You may have to dig it out from under 50kw KPNW AM on the same freq in Eugene OR.

Thanks for the tip. I tried 1120 last night and found KANN -- a Christian music station in Roy, Utah, and listed as just 1,000 watts at night -- as the main signal under KPNW. But I'll keep trying.

Meanwhile, I shifted to 1110 and found KFAB audible at times under KBND.

You're nulling the pest stations while rxing the desireds, right?

Right now, in our temporary rental while our house gets rebuilt from a plumbing disaster, I've just got my radio, its built-in ferrite bar, and the low-tech method of turning the radio this way and that.

I mostly started mediumwave DXing again earlier this fall because the shortwave reception at this rental, where I'm not allowed to string a big antenna, is so lousy. So, for now, my radio equipment budget is on hold while we buy stuff like replacement furniture.

With that in mind, I've already told my wife a loop antenna like the AN-100 can be my Christmas present. With luck, we'll also be in our regular house, with has lower RFI levels, by then.

I went sniffing around MW last night.  Using the TX-11A on the workbench and a Belar shielded loop in the backyard.  Had good copy on WHO around 1000z, heard top of the hour news, mentions of a plane crash in SD killing 9 and injuring 3.
