    Oh to add to this Ive easily picked up New York City Area AM stations close to the Canadian Border (~300 miles) with a regular walkman radio especially at night (I believe there are power restrictions during the day)

      That’s really cool. At night certain AM stations are required to turn their transmitting power down due to the way signals travel in the evening. We have an AM station near us that uses the mountain and multiple antennas to get their signal out during the night with low power; I’ll try to find a picture of it for you.
