Missing from this catch are 100s of possible stations, but the most notable is XEPE 1700 Tectate, BN Mexico.

This was done under less than favorable conditions, with the radio near several bad interference sources. A later (early winter) scan will likely catch more.

Can you actually lock any of the HD's at night?

[marsam233]

KOA 850 and KMXA 1090 are the two that have come the closest. I can get about a second of HD audio from 850 depending on the night. Denver is 368 miles as the crow flies.

[marsam233]

The two locals that broadcast at night lock just fine. Both transmitters are within 15 miles of me.

@andrewsaccount09 You'd be surprised. KCBS was heard in southwestern Wyoming, and northern Idaho.

[andrewsaccount09]

KCBS reaches Utah at night? Doubt it. And 770 was playing Michael Savage (most likely tape delayed) at this time. But cool how KGO reaches all the way to the rockies at night!

[OXLEYCRUSHER]

Are you able to receive any UK stations after dark has fallen?

[neglectoid]

i love am radio !!! been listening to it for 30+ years

[fordranger797]

Probably should have added, I was refering to CKWX 1130 Vancouver

[fordranger797]

It comes in crystal clear in Tacoma Washington If I am passing through in my truck. That is the best news station.

Actually 700 is local here, KALL. Funny it used to be known as "KWLW" and was owned by the same people.
